have a look at http://www.courtenaysport.co.uk/index.php they do supercharger kits for vauxhalls
might be worth while emailing them get a quote.

superchargers make a nice noise, everyone can hear me comming in my car lol

i'll have a look mate cheers, but really i want to do the conversion for as little money as possible
cant seem to find one on there but sent an email, does any know if the ecotec has been supercharged in a corsa, or if there a build guide out there sumwere,
cheers james

well after reading about seems a few corsas have been supercharged, sadly i cannot find any examples or anything to show
learnt a few things tho... pretty much everyone i have seen used the eaton m25 from a mini cooper s
you will also need lower compression pistons, intercooler, silicon hoses to plumb it all in and a ecu remap to lash it all together
also maybe an idea to have a stand alone boost controler aswell

sorry i cant be of more help

cool, i was thinking of using a copper decompression plate for now, and building a higher spec engine over 12 months, as for the supercharger im watching a couple of mini items on ebay, as for management my dad has one in development , although im thinking of just na tunning with tb's etc etc
mite be a lil easier, and do the supercharger on my next project
then again just been talkin to my mate thats got a 20seh 8v motor that i can have so thats a bargain,
gona look for some info on how to do the 8v conversion with charger?

Mercs can be a good source for chargers as well.

are they not a lil to big, my plan is to use the 2.0 ecotec 16v engine from the vectra, with a blower, all in the engine bay of my corsa,
the only problem is i cant find any info on how to do or even if it can be done, the only corsa's i've found with blowers use the 1.8 or 2.0 8v engine's, as posted earlier i have the choice of both engines but ideally i'd like to use the 16v motor?
does anyone know where i can get a supercharger manifold for the ecotec, or even a detailed picture so i can make my own

i've just been talking with a couple of lads i know, they seem to think it'll be hard fitting it all in the bay of my corsa, they reckon i shud get the bottom end blue printed, head ported, cams, gsxr 1000 throttle bodies ( the item that splits k2/3 i think), 4 branch with exhaust, and one of my dads management systems,
wot do the peeps on here think, im wanting to run against my mates at usc, they running a fiesta mk3 race spec 2.1 zetec on tb's 231 bhp, and a really quick 400+ bhp 2.1 zetec turbo mk 3 festa, (struggles for grip though as still fwd lol)

nah it should fit, have seen corsa's with 3.0 v6s in, aparntly a pain but more to the point it did fit
my car engine bay is tiny, and altho alot more moden, it has a supercharger, and a turbocharger so yea i reccon it would fit

if you have the cash anything is possible,

[ManicGTI]

Any reason why you're not going LET instead?

probably wants somthing a bit diffrent,
its fun to say "i beat you in a turbocharged 2 liter corsa"
but more fun to say "i beat you with a 1.4 lol"
