Corsa C Z18XE N/A Tuned

Hi guys,

thought it was about time i got some pics up of my motor, its a 52 plate 1800 corsa that is far from standard

pics -

Current Mods

Engine

dbilas vernier pulleys
dbilas inlet manifold
dbilas flowmaster
dbilas fst road cams
piper 4-1 manifold
sports cat
2.5 inch system
lightened flywheel
ARP rod bolts

it was running approx 179.6bhp and 156ftlb until i blew i big end bearing due to letting it run dry due to fecked piston rings :lol:

so im now in the process of changing the engine for a second time, once thats sorted and iv got it running sweet again, ill get on with some more engine work

hoping to take it up to around 200bhp in the new year with forged pistons, steel rods, bigger injectors and a standalone ecu, and then i direct port nitrous kit bolted on for good measure

cheers for looking

Matt

im on the look out for a full cage, but im struggling to find a supplier in this country

found a place that does carbon wings and boot for it though, so there getting ordered as an xmas present from the missus

and im waiting on PEC (performance engine components) to make me some pistons and rods

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh nice

give OMP a go, they are gonna do me a 10 point bolt in cage (which im gonna weld in as well as bolt) and its was about 370 off squids

very good price IMO for a competition cage with an FIA certificate iirc

harry hockley does a cage for a corsa c as do Clark motorsport in Aberdeen.

Good spec, some pounds spent there, though TB's would be the next stage along with the pistons etc. Not sure how that might affect the emmissions though.

Liking the carbon bonnet too which is a first.

looked into the TB's, just too much hassle having to change from FBW to cable throttle and then the cost of aftermarket management initially to get it all running, plus the dbilas inlet does a pretty good job

theres a 1.8 corsa turo running 300bhp with the exact same one so its up to the job

oh and it nearly wasnt a carbon bonnet a while a go

blew off when the missus was driving! :lol: ill never fit another without bonnet pins in!
