Would You Recomend Doing This

[sri-ste]

My brother has told me to drop a 1300cc hayabusa engine into my corsa,
would you recomend me doing this ?
cause every1 puts c20xes or c20lets
so he told me to be differnt lol

[rems]

yea i can be done mate its relatively simple but it will take a while, would help if you mechanically minded aswell

it would defo be something different, check out Z cars to get an idea may help you out

ive seen a golf mk1 powered by one on youtube, and it looks fun .. what you mean Zcars

[BIG DAN]

nothing is imposible if ya put ya mind to it ! but if ya going to bike engine it is alot of work and hope ya have a deep wallet thats all im saying on the matter lol !

tbh it wont cost as much as you think 2moz but it is still expensive to do, bike you could pick up from a scrappy, the main things you will have to look into is gear linkage and setting up a rear diff unit, if i was to do it i would cut out the rear floor an fire wall the back, check out this months fast car with the fiesta and the motorbike engine in the back for ideas, he built it on his drive

well over the weekend ive been putting ideas together and i came up with a 1.6 gsi turbo ? to me i think that would be pretty quick & also its a straght swop so fussing around what you guys think ?

[rems]

it can be done i would do more research though as its not just a a case of bolting on a turbo and away you go, i would go supercharge not as much hassle but is more expensive

[sri-ste]

i guess soo yeah, i will have to get hold of a 1.6 engine first then see what i should do

[rems]

i was toying with the idea of turboing an old car of mine but you need to work out an oil feed to the turbo ect where as if you get a belt driven supercharge it will be a case of finding a longer belt

take a look at this thread for an idea

oh i seee, thanks mate, looks like ill be charging it then whats the power differnce between turbo and superchanged

[rems]

tbh im not sure, i think supercharged has the slight edge

[sri-ste]

ohhh can you put a b.o.v on one

[rems]

erm..................in english lol

[sri-ste]

a blow of vaule (dump vaule) lol

[BIG DAN]

so all you want a turbo for is the big hiss at the end lol ! to be hones if your going to 1.6 gsi it why dont you keep teh gsi as you will need engine box loom clocks shafts hubs brakes and prob a few more bits i cant think of why not do teh bike engine in it as you wanted ? be diffrent dont follow the croud lol !
