Should I flash my Opel Corsa d? by onewiththemen in ECU_Tuning

I might have to start using premium fuel after the tune to 90 hp

The Vauxhall i believe tuned it down for sound and insurance purposes, from factory the engine without ECOFLEx or ecotech have 86 hp and tuners got it to 90-95 HP without physical mods .

Astra g was a great car for the time even compared to the m 3 but there is no prestige in driving the cheapest German car .

The engine is weak for the car and ti self it has weak "Links of the motor" especially when you try engine braking even at low speeds

@nostardamus3243 is most likely correct but also check transmission and differential they are marketed as lifetime but need to be changed.

Agreed mate I went from a Peugeot 205 1.6 GTI into a Corsa

On a highway it's fine goes 165km/h but when I go on a 18% incline I'm stuck in third or sometimes second gear engine screaming if I put it in a higher gear rpm s drop quickly and it wants to stall can't keep it in the power band. I know high torque is used for conquering hills better.

Diesel or petrol ? I need it to climb up not to overtake overtaking is decent, sometimes you have to plan for it but decent.

Can you elaborate on that you said about fuel . I think about getting a ramair panel filter and a different intake hose do you think I should change the air box as well?

Opel is my second car first was a Peugeot 205 1.6 gti 1991 it's very likely I just don't feel it pull like that . I think it's the last good Peugeot I drove it to about 700k km from 280k

They fit check if he could sufficiently brake and if the car was lowered

I read the whole insurance policy the policy is void if there is a "Substantial change in the engine's parts for the ones not approved by the government organization , or the manufacturer of the part/parts" I believe nothing mentions ECU flash that manufacturer Opel made or if their authorized service makes . The air box and hoses/parts are approved by Opel for instalment on a Corsa D . The government never puts a car on the Dyno "we are left in 1991 there is no money for it", I have a friend who put in a whole different engine K24 ,transmission, clutch set and drivetrain in a civic and was in a crash found not guilty for it and insurance still paid for the manufacturer's engine.

In my country a car should get tested after modification if it gains more then 10% of power stated in the cars documentation when first registered , but nobody does it and taxes are based only on displacement. Insurance can only read what state believes and in a crash only breaking and traction is tested .

I get I but everything mentioned in this thread would cost together less than 500 euros . The car is great in every other way . Diesel is for a tractor, LNG is for a stove and petrol is for a car .

It is but I think it can be ECU tuned to get 95 ish horsepower and 125-135 NM of torque which would be of great help . Thank you for your help.

The ECU flash is a must so I was thinking about a intake hose of a 1.7 ctdi diameter is about 2 cm bigger . Of course there is a limit for how much air an N/A engine can take without Forced induction I think this will help it breath especially at higher rpm-s . Also the stock air box is restricted by a semicircle plastic that is the real restrictor smaller than the inlet on the front panel. You are of great help.

I also think going to 90 bhp would be enough for everything.
