Corsa-B.uk - Vauxhall, Opel and Holden Corsa B Owners Club

After buying and then running it to the ground and then ridding myself of it. Guess what, it's back in my front garden!;) dents, rust, smashed window, missing wiring loom and ecu, no engine. And no interior. It's the best £75 I've ever spent; but due to the sentimental value I had to have it back. My second car was just sitting in my mates garage slowly gathering cobwebs, so I decided I'll do something, getting it back ripping the block out of it, the wiring and the interior slapping some 15" Astra sport Alloys on that need a major refurb, and then ripping the interior out, she's now ready to be looked after and returned to fairly decent condition! So far I have accumulated a full gsi kit, 1.4 block that's been bored to 77.5mm and a cleaned head, a x14xe loom for multiplying injection, 1.6 calipers, and a Renault 5 gt intercooler, you can imagine what i have in store for the wee thing;) also I'm selling my Saab, £325 takes it! It's impractical, as I will never get to drive it, plus I need money for the corsa!

Will get pictures of the shed tomorrow! + the Saab!

1.4 turbo :-o:-o cant wait to see this

Haha yes! Neither can I! Strangely the corsa looks better in the pictures. And the pictures aren't exactly helping haha! But it should all get sorted, the loom+ ecu+ intercooler is being dispatched Thursday so should be here by next week hopefully! And pictures will be coming!

Abused corsa warning, those sensitive to sheds look away now;)

Stripped the interior

Anyone want a garret t15 turbo, with garret down pipe and two stud flange welded to the exhaust port (this came like it) although it could do with a neater job, should be running at 8psi, would be decent for those who want low down torque £40+ delivery charges

Id love a turbo but it would be silly on a 1.2 lol

How come your selling it?

not really? ive seen plenty of 1.2 turbos, the starlet glanza is a 1.3 turbo, in fact the car the t15 came off was a 1.2 turbo nova
im in need of a bigger blower, the t15 wont be putting out enough puff for what i want it to do

Thought about it a couple of times but i wouldnt be happy with it gear ratio is to short and gain wouldnt be enough for me lol id just want more lol

What sort of power you going for ?

Haha, what engine are you running 8v or 16? I'm hoping for 150+ easy, I've got a 16v loom coming so I can run multipoint injection, bigger throttle body,getting bigger injectors and running a t25 or a small t3 with 3" exhaust also a custom manifold with external wastegate should be sufficient

I have the 16v

your aiming for 2 liter power hah that would be mint tbh

I havnt seen a 14xe turbo before so looking forward to it alot

I've seen 1.2 16v turbos running at 177bhp haha, it's a s14nz mate, single cam and single point injection running at 70bhp at a push haha, but so far it's been overborred to 77.5mm and it's having a full multipoint injection+ throttle body system, I'm hoping for 150bhp, but I think I can push it at 180bhp

I know they can run big power just fell the gears to short and gear box only spins to around 110 so dont think i would bother just to max the gearbox lol

Aw i seen sport loom assumed sport engine lol

Cant wait till you get started on it

Fair enough! I'm sure you should be able to run a f15 box? Get one from a tigra bolt a charger onto it, run some massive injectors and throttle body, problem solved just try not to melt the pistons haha! Yeah same! Well quite a fair few bits should be here next week, and I'm tearing down the donor car once I've got room on the drive so panels and partial interior would be sorted, ill just have to spray the bay and finish the engine:)

This came in the post today!
