How much more (Cost wise) is it to bob a let in the corsa rather than a C20XE?

Thats not skimping but not going all out.
Id have preffered an F28, now need valve stem seals doing. Tappets might be worth replacing whilst heads off.
Buy a blown engine with an ok turbo. Re-build it to your desired spec. Then u know what your getting.

would be cheaper to buy a corsa with conversion already done

Where do u get a box and diff for 600! I'll have one at that price
A diff is 435, then it needs fitting, plus box converting to FWD!

buy the car, then the engine and box is supplied,
f28 if you go to the right places is £200 and £395 ish trade for the diff
so much cheaper to buy the whole car and split

if you can get things at them kindsa prices could would be rude not to. my prices work out for bottom end alone
pistons - 500
rods - 600
oil psray bars - 100
sbd high pressure or whatever oil pump - 150ish
gasket set - 40
sbd heavy duty bearings - 80ish i think
block machines for spray bars - 40
repair block and rebore to 87mil - 50ish
bound to be summit im missing off there
thats 1560 worth so if you can get a whole engine done for that then get it done right away, if anything you will make money by doing it

Muppetsport.... forgot to tell you on PM and can't be bothered to open the U2U window!
Steve Broughton (Of SBD) has told my mate that if you run oil sprayers you can't keep enough oil pressure. Talk to SBD! The suggested way is to drill a tiny hole in the rod? I've seen a rod done (might of been from an F1 car).

reckon i know what you mean. them steel rods ive got have something done to em apparantly. its just the home made eds phase 4 engine that i got. them spray bars only release right up top revs i belive. ball bearing in the end of em so they arent going all the time. only when oil pressure is right up.
well, will see how long it lasts, lol. that daredevil nova thing from germany or some other foreign land and the 600+bhp white nova thing has em. will let ya know probably tomorrow when i get the car fired up if i have oil pressure or not. if not, cost a fw quid to fix, lol. doh

think it will just give you slightly lower oil pressure, but not sure by how much. Would dry sumping solve it or not? Am I barking up the wrong tree lol

-oil spray bars are to cool the underside of your pistons
-Dry sump is so you can rev high and not have the top of the engine flud with oil
