no we've drive more then 20 runs in de past 2 race events..
So the engine is now ok. Some litlle problems like hose clamps we brake down.. I know looking for the T-Bolt Hose Clamps.
And i need to install an new belt for the supercharger. The old one is braking into several pieces. but this belt survived 4 engine's so no bad result haha
Past weekend we drove a constant 13.8 sec at the 1/4 mile..
My PR is a 13.78, i hope with these slicks to set a new PR of 13.4 or less

After a long time a big update..
In September last year a little part in the cilinderhead broke down.
I've decided that i didn't rebuild the C20xe,
Now we are rebuilding the corsa and we are building a complete new engine.
This time bigger and even better.
This time we are going to build a C20XE with an Eaton M90 Supercharger.
With a lots of nice goodies..
So a few pictures for so far:
Motor and parts:
New Exhaust:
Some new picture's of my project.
We have almost finished the inside of the car.
Need still to do some work at the dashboard and electronical wiring.
And a little preview from the work at the engine bay.
The engine bay will also be sprayed with the same color as the inside of the car..

first we now going to spray the engine bay. The same color as the inside of the car.
This is a little bit lighter then the outside but is a nice contrast..

By the way, I forgot to ask, why the change of charger? Is it purely for the sake of more air capacity?

the m64 has a capacity of 1liter per rotaion. The M90 1.5 liter per rotaion..
I want to drive first with 1.5 BAR boost (21.7PSI) and later with 2 bar boost (29 PSI)

Are you going to be using standard engine internals or uprated/forged ones?
