So my beloved corsa has been sitting on my drive feeling worried for its self for a while now .
And the plan is to spark some life into her and use her on track days this summer.
Now i know its possible to turbo these engines as warren already has, but thats as much as i know.
Im guessing its the vxr turbo that fits onto the engines, but apart from that what is needed to make this work reliably??? Z18xe running gear due to remap etc??
Havnt posted her here for a while so i though it would be well worth getting a corsa back on this forum

its a z18xe engine not an x18xe1 and is the dbilas dynamic turbo kit.

If you change your mind over the next few weeks and fancy some extra spending money then I'll have it providing it's taxed/MOT'd.
