hats off to you for trying something different......
whats witht the people slating his mate think the point he's trying to make is the guy has some experiance with cars......... whats wrong with that..... id say its more to do with the fact that some jelousy creeps in and or they have not got the balls to do it themselves..... sad really but thats the times we live in
hope it works well

Rather you than me sorting all those wires out  
Fair play for doing something different - I wouldn't even have known where to start!

Thanks alot chap well when my mate took his rover to the rolling roads yeaterday he was hopeing for 230bhp and managed to pull 260bhp with 281ft/ld and built the car up himself sorta shows you what hes capable of and the room was warm so hes down on power at that which we were all happy with.
and it shouldnt be long until its running gooing to get a final few weeks at it now nd have it on the road again.

What's been done to this engine? B18c/B16a2? 220 is realistic, but 250 will need a fair bit of work!

well ive been beaten buy the loom which really sucks so ive got to back track now and remove the honda/rover loom. on the upside i get to fit another corsa b loom and make that work got me. But on the plus side my mate binned his genuine sri and i managed to bag a full scorpion exhuast and a 4 branch mani and some shortened and stiffened shocks for the front and drilled and grooved disks all for swapping him my standard stuff.

Will the ports on a Corsa manifold match those of the Honda engine?
