as for the gearbox, your right it wont work.
just been to my mates mums funeral, feel O_o horible, probably wont be much fun to talk to for a day or two.
she was killed in a car crash, she drove a corsa co-insidently.
such a sad loss.
take note and take care.

not sure at the mo, it was 160bhp standard as a vti, then a custom exaust manifold was made, new fuel pump and pressure regulator, forge intercooler, pipercross foam filter bolted direct on to the turbo, full mongoose exaust system, interia removed, samco hoses and new ecu from america allong with software to map it.
all for under £2000 as work was done by my friend and i.
his new project is a 300bhp 1.8VTI running carbs of a motorbike!!!!!
im sticking with ma wee corsa 1.5td lol.
had a lot of fun with the blow off valve, cos the turbo\'s so big it makes a huge noise, so we thaught it would be funny to drive around town with an air horn gaffa taped to it as people where comeing out of pubs and clubs, god it was loud. hahahahaha

Sounds good but to be honest am not a fan of the jap stuff.

howdy howdy as per usual i am late into the topic.. car looks tons etter know it has been droped. so i am persuming you finaly went for the silver wheels did you? good job on the civic even though i am not fan of civic\'s. so you did that to yuou m8s car you should be tunin up your own let alone other peoples lol.

am going to get the paind and body work done first and the get a bigger engine.
my friend owns a scrapyard so he has offerd me a 2ltr omega engine, a 1.6 nova gsi engine or a 1.4sri engine, all have appropriot running gear and are relativly low mileage. but am giveing it some serious thaught first.
quite fancy a civic vti engine in the corsa, need custom drive shafts.

[rob]

how much are the worth these days?

[sam13]

get the nova engine good fast reliable wouldnt recomend echotech engine though 1.4 sri 8v also good engine.

[sam13]

all down to what you prefer and whatis avalable etc

[rob]

have devided to fit a civic esi engine, as i have a doner car waiting for me.
the civic vti that i tuned up is sitting at 264bhp running the turbo at 8psi.
we are going to crail next weekend to test it.
everyone should come!!!!
i am fitting propane to the diesel corsa for next weekend, but i will be driveing it up there in a lovely primer and filler colour lol
have a big turbo and an inter cooler to try and get running in the next week.
made a 3\" straight thru system for a friend yesterday, i am thinking of starting to make custon exausts if anyone is interested?

I have my own pipe bending tool i haven\'t used it yet but i cant wait!

[sam13]

when yopu gona put the civic engine in yuor corsa.
i am interested in a stight through pipe.

[markymicro]

I would of thought that would be too loud! Very loud for that matter,

[sam13]

true
and will have to back pressure mybe not such a good idea actuly lol

[markymicro]

yep,

[sam13]

lol very very true simon could of put it any better tuned up vauxhall engines are good enough.

[rob]

the car has a huge turbo, it doesnt need back pressure, only naturally aspirated engines depend on back pressure.
want a civic engine in my corsa because theyre light and v quick.
dont get me wrong, i still love my wee corsa, why do you think im keeping the shell and not just buying a whole civic?

to make an exaust you are best not to use a pipe bender as it kinks the pipe and reduces air flow.
you are much better to pie cut sections to make smooth curves or buy 90 or 45 degree bends.
civic is just as loud as my friends MR2 turbo, testing it found that it sits at around 260bhp and does 160mph. cant wait till crail next weekend!!!!!!
