Hi there
has anybody got any tuning advise on a 1.6 16v ecotec engine

i am considering fitting bike carbs and doing away with the standard injection as i have been told that this engine was very restricted in the inlet manifold area.

I am trying to find out what bennefit the above would have and if its worth doing
if not i will take the engine out and fit a 2 litre xe,but i keep getting told the 1.6 is a very good engine and very tunable but i carnt find anyone whos tuned one to ask there opinion

Cheers

Sonic,
Speak to Steve at SBD....he does good things with these engines,

my pals is about 208 bhp..8800rpm limit

Good old XE POWA you just cant beat it

there was a brief bit in feb ppc about 1600 eco i can scan it but not till fri

i am using a 2l eco

this is a thread about ecos but mainly the 2l linky

QED tune the 2ltr ecotech, not heard of them doing bits for the 1.6 tho..
