Bloody hell that does go pretty good considering. I would say that's XE Corsa pace, possibly quicker.

Wasnt me who did that by the way... i bought the manifold like that, to be honest i left them as they were solid and not blowing.

If the engine doesnt blow up by winter ill redo the manifold with the new exhaust flange i had made

I need to get an uprated clutch in it and a lightened flywheel and do the pod.

Would love to see what it does up the 1/4 mile

Good project!

Have you had it up the pod yet?

Any RR results?

The mrs' sister has a 1.0 one of these.... hmmm, do you think she'd notice if one of these turbos were fitted to hers?

Awesome project can't believe I missed this! I remember nearly getting done by one of these in my xe'd Corsa to find out it had an Almera Gti engine in it

Top work.

Bit of an update.

Had to sort out the fan, the down pipe was so close its started melting the fan cowling.

So out with the old and in with the new.

Old VS new




All swapped and wired in and very quiet when fan is on but does force some are through!




Will i was at it i rerouted the dump valve hose as was rubbing on dizzy cap.

The 1.3's are pretty tough. As long as you dont go too silly with the boost.

Im running 9psi at the mo but wouldnt mind a bar but would then need to uprate internals.

waiting for my coilovers so got to fitting the gauge pod, still got to put one more gauge in and either sticker bomb the pillar and pod or mould it to the pillar trim and paint it.
