Easy all.

Right scrapped the Idea of the charger ETC to much hassle time, and no progress being made by the guy who was sorting it all so... onto another project.

As i said here: http://forums.maxxd.com/im-back-t-2280.html

Im going to be dropping a Z20LET into my Corsa with the following modifications:

VXR Turbo
VXR AFM
VXR Injectors
Pre-Cat removal
FMIC
200Cell Cat in Exhaust
+ Remap. Should see about 245/255bhp

Will also drop a Lightened flywheel in, and maybe LSD!


Breaks i shall be going for is Vectra-C 314mm (http://www.lmfvauxhall.co.uk/store/produ...438&page=1) was going to get 4pots but no point really!

Here is a pic of the car at current!


Cosmetically will get car re-colour coded, aswell as maybe 16" SRi Alloys unsure atm!


Heh so thats the plan!
Cheers for looking

Gonna be some interesting fast little cars next year by the sound of it.

Keep it up

sounds good mate, any ideas on power figures once set up etc?
good luck with it, looks like a promising project that should have good outcomes! nice to see someone thinking outside the box rather than just bang a redtop in it!
im currently looking at possible engines for my corsa B, fancie a go up the pod next year?

Well after done roughly il be looking @ 220bhp thats without the revs lifted just a map on the the Engine Management, Standard ECU wont even be remapped. Thing is mate, bigger the radiator i get, more perfomance so...

Well mate, i will be able to kill a Corsa 1.8 SRi with a Turbo conversion, looking do hopefully do a few scoobies aswell.

Sure mate il go up strip with you for a laugh.
You going for a XE or LET?

good power then!

thinking 20XE, but there common as hell

LET, bit more on the expensive side, project is on a budget

16XE, good for 200bhp with TB'S, but again, money!

think i may go for a rebuilt 20xe, with ported and flowed coscast head, mild cams or LET cams if possible, lightened bottom end etc, around 160-170bhp with a remap.

so no, im not guna be playing with you up the pod!

c20xe's are good man and can be well done stealthly aswell, i used to have a c16xe in my first corsa but sold it as was a shit car to start with!

Im not changing cams or inlet manifold have no reason really, cams will take over at around 4,500rpm but if i just change gear charger will kick in so... have no reason really.

Man its not about the compotition @ pod really its the laugh of doing it and getting pissed all over

You mean a piggy back ECU?

Oh, and get some pics of the engine bay up for a before and after type thingy.

No mate, standalone.

2 ECUs as original 1 staying to controll all the boring stuff ....

sounds like its gonna be interesting along the way keep us posted

Here are pics of what the Chargecoolers look like!

sweet dude!!!

sounds INTERESTING!

make saure you stick around and keep us up-to-date!

I shall be keeping around haha why would i wanna leave Fee and her stories
Il be fitting the induction kit and manifold just before fastfest.

Unfortunatly i dont have pics of the manifold off the car at the moment, il photo them next week and also get a pic of the sports cat im using and extended lambda sensor!



will upload pics of manifold on the car later... though not pics of my car

So i got the 4-2-1 Manifold out and attempted to fit it, but ran into a few problems, first off pics of manifold its self




As you can see, 4-2-1 Branch good welds should be shinny silver but couldnt be arsed to polish it.
Well started fitting it to the car few problems arrised as il explain but let the pictures tell the story from here on.







So... Manifold off the car and downpipe off, picture doesnt show but also bolts out of the head aswell.. now is where problems started to occur!!





From those pictures, if you cant see basically the problem is the sump, the manifold wont fit flush to the head of the car because of 1 of the pipes is hitting the sump.

The manifold has been on a Z18XE engine before but it was in a Astra, the Head & Block are exactly the same, and the Sump looks identical however going to change the sump sometime to a Astra sump IF its different and then try again!

Also for people asking about the ECU, i was going to be using a Megasquirt ECU but now i think il fit the Supercharger kit its self and then goto the local Dastek place and get a Unichip fitted and get the car mapped for the best performance.

Thanks for taking 5 =)

good to see you get your hands dirty!

and, nice touch taking pics step by step!

keep it up!

Aye, il have a good why not got nothing to loose. Only way youll learn is buy trying.

As for the manifold, MIGHT be fitted on thursday providing my mates got the new sump!
If hes got the sump off the astra then its game on and that manifold will be fitted thursday
