Well here a few pics of the start of my new engine.
picked the engine up (got a bargin of Ebay)
the engine is a
3lt V6 out of a Omega which is going to be mated with a few bits off the 2.5 so fits better in the corsa.
Also got a F28 6 Speed Gearbox
i have just placed the Turbo onto the Block to see how its sits and looks, so i know what is more needed, it looks fine just need to get a off the block oil filer from Demon Tweeks
I am still in 2 minds on weather to fit the Turbo or go for a Supercharger, but time will tell; eather way should give the corsa so more power
This is just the start of the new engine i have alot of internal mods being done to take the extra power so dosent go pop (C20LET pistons, uprated 3lt Cams etc etc) god knows how long or where this one will take me but should be fun no matter what

yes this is going into the BAT corsa
the reson for not tuning the 2.5 is the easy way to tune a 2.5 is to put 3lt bits on it. so why not start with 80% 3lt in the first place.

@Beardy, just thought i would mention that the GM 3.8 V6 block out here in auz runs a supercharger, and i am aware that the old 3.0 V6 units from Omega's etc are of a similar design, and share some bits. It might be worth finding out about this if you wanna go S/C.

BTW, superchargers were factory fit too. Seen some twin supercharged v6's pushing 600bhp, and twi supercharged v8's over 1000bhp
