looking good Mr. P good to see you saturday too! people thinking the power is low need to look at the torque figure, try getting that out of a 1600 even with a lot more than a manifold swap!
so when are the cams being ordered?

When he bought it they told him it would not fit an XE1 so he bought it anyway to prove a point.....You know what he is like!

And yer Lee my 1.6 corsa made the same BHP with manifolds etc but only had a measly 109 of torque

Drives supercharged Tec with torque

Would it not be possible to make an adapter plate for the throttle body so it can be bolted sideways like so?


How much clearance if any would it give? I was going to do this to my mine but i dont fancy cutting a hole in me bonnet

if you wanted it to clear the bonnet you could make a tube with the appropriate flanges on it to place the tb assembly above the inner wing, probably the same amount of work as modding the bonnet though!

Black caps cover coolant pipes. Red cap is breather from camb cover now piped into a catch tank. The other breather made a nice fitting for a pot rivet holding the wiring clamp.

Lee, as you know, I had already cut away most of the bonnet so 1 little hole wouldn't make much difference & where else would I have put the corsa plate

Lee, the truth is, at the time the hole went in the bonnet I had a grinder in my hand but didn't have a lump of 6061-T6 to hand.
