Car is running 206 BHP and 331 lb/Ft of Torque after remap, the same guy has a Zafira running 221 BHP stock.

Current rims are Radius R12. Need a refurb at the minute though.

Not entirely sure how they have restricted it to be honest just know that they are in essence the same engine, same as the Astra & Vec 120/150 16 V engines :(

The SRi engine is a downtuned version of the VXR engine :)

cheers guys. Looking to take it to 200 bhp and 340 lb/ft

I am guessing that the OP no longer is interested in a transplant as the last post on this thread was September last year :) hopefully he will have seen the error in his ways and bought a Diesel ;)

Hello & Welcome, a lot of people will warn you to stay away from tuning boxes as all the do is fool the ECU, I have ran a tuning box on 2 of my cars with no problems over the last 4 years but as they will become an MOT failure and I cant be bothered removing it from the car I have decided to go...

The 1.7 engine will tune to about 170 bhp but the VXR will tune way past 200 in the Corsa and 300 in the Astra form, have read that there is someone transplanting an Astra VXR into the Corsa and is looking for over 400 bhp. Torque wise the tuned 1.7 will be better than the standard VXR Corsa...

I doubt you would get insurance that is affordable on a VXR to be honest, the CDTi engines are great I have owned both the Vec and Astra CDTi 150 engines and both are immensley tunable, they out torque the VXR via a stage one tune but then the VXR can go further and the torque starts to come...

No worries, look forward to seeing how you get on with this :) should be an interesting journey. I have owned 3 Astras, 2 Cavs and 2 Vecs over the years, dont know what it is about this range but I keep coming back to them, even after my last car (Scooby WRX Bugeye) Just think I am VX daft lol

Sound plans you have there but if I were looking to transplant an engine from the VX range it would be the Turbo (Z20 LEH) engine or the Corsa VXR (Z16LER) engine over a 2.5 V6 Lump, gains are much more impressive however with this you will need to upgrade clutch, brakes etc, so may just be...

Thanks again, I think the white wheels suit it better than the darker ones :) Dropping it on VXR Springs next week, a moddest drop, not too low as some of the speed bumps at work are made for 4x4s Im sure :( Gonna change the Rear boot strip to White Carbon effect if I can find some...

Cheers :) still a few things I want to do to it but getting there

Car when I first got it: Headunit fitted ( Eonon d5107) Carbon wrapping: First wheel change: Then Flyeyes kit: Another wheel change and angel eyes fitted Just bought some VXR springs so will be fitting them next weekend after the remap :)

Welcome from a fellow VX owner :)
