Fair play for being different n all that shazzle, but, why spend all the time drilling lots of tiny holes for tiny weight loss advantages, then sticking a hugely heavy V6 in the front?

Would it not be far more prudent to use a known and easily tuneable engine, where its much lighter, and can produce a lot more power with scope for improvement.

Without supercharger, or V6 throttle bodies (doubtfull theres enough room under a corsa bonnet), they aren't the easiest engines to get power from.

But for me, its weight loss, then sticking a huge amount of weight back in it thing. Just doesn't make sense?

Why not go for something like the 1.6 Turbo engine from a VXR, or even a 2.0 Ecotec, or even the Ali 2.2 16v with turbo/supercharger combo? Much lighter, and im sure the Yanks are getting like 700+bhp from them with moniez chucked in?

Even a healthy NA redtop with stupid weight loss can break the 13's, which is roughly what this would be getting into (maybe low 13s?).

Not a piss take, genuine questions.

Dont know much about engines tbh, does that give gains? Serious question

reason for the current V6 is partially down to my previous V6 corsa wich managed 12.9et, 1.8 60ft's, 0-60 4.2secs, 106mph and it was just a stock C25XE with G cams on the inlet, 3l lower divider, fse reg, c20xe ttv fly and helix paddle clucth with F20 box... this is just a more improved version of it, even less weight, little more power, little more torque etc...

and to say that a lighterweight engine would be better isnt necessarily true in FWD drag, the shire weight of the V6 with some low psi decent front tyres gets some unreal traction hence the good 60ft's...
and theres still a fair bit to come from the V6 imo. my mates are currently sat on a 10.9 run by chucking a load of nitrous into a de-stroked 3l V6

and the reason i wouldnt go for something turbo is im wanting to push the 'all motor' time as far as i can on my budget

as for the alloy 2.2, wey, theres a lot more than just 700bhp getting pushed out of them in the states... we're miles behind over here still chucking thousands into CLET's and such

as for the c20xe, i think 13.7 out of a 'stock ' (previous threads joke) is the best they can go without plumbing ££££'s into them...

the engine im using is a x30xe with c25xe running gear, heavily skimmed heads, exhaust ports done right out and the same ttv c20xe fly, helix paddle and f20 from the last one... kind of just wanting to improve on what iv already done
