Had a bit of time for messing around with the corsa today............
[img][/img]
engine started off looking like this.
[img][/img]
and buy midday looked like this! oh feck
didn't think a supercharger would fit but after a friend from z22se visited over xmas with his charged astra we had a good measure up and saw that the slam panel sits higher up than on the astra and much higher than a Vectra b compaired to the top of the engine.
so after trying to find a charger to borrow with no luck I took the gamble of shipping 1 in from the US.

as you can see its all abit cosy but it will work!
need to move the abs unit back a few inches and change the rads which I already have and will have to get custom made air con pipes but its a small amount of effort for such a big gain.

I can pawn all my old sc bits off to you now want a 2.9" pulley? Lol and some good quality belts? Ive converted to 6ribbed belts now so dont need all my spares.
Also, get a 68mm lsj throttle body and dont piss about with the standard one.
If you need help with anything let me know..
You will need the smaller alternator aswell otherwise the positive will foul the manifold and you will get a short..
I wrote this some time ago, i suggest you give it a read.
