Astra 103kw 1.8, just a retune or parts too?

Is it the same engine retuned, internal changes, exhaust?

Just curious as a 103kw Barina SRi would be a hoot, esp if its just the addition of exhaust manifold, intake change or something.

I remember reading it's a new lighter and stronger engine block. Sounds like they have made some extensive mods.

i dont think its a matter of just bolting in. the computer would be in need of change. and i dont think a map out of a 7.5 AH would just work. different electrical systems.
