    What a good bit of work you have done so far, i will be keeping my eye on this for sure. Engine looks very well and sparkling now you worked your magic. Them cams look pretty mean, and the throttle bodies look quality also. What sort of power you looking for then mate, will be interesting when complete.

    Re: Corsa B x20xev conversion (Project Diablo)

    Howzit guys and girls!!Sorry i have been neglecting this forum a bit...Here is a full update on the project...I have bought and did a lot of things since my last post..
    I have bought Racetec High Comp forged pistons...Copper clutch + lightweight Flywheel..
    head has been ported and polished,valves swirled and EGR removed..Bought ARP Conrod bolts,LC big end Bearings and Mahle Main bearings..Strut brace,all gaskets and seals..Bought new suspension setup ( Eibach Pro ).
    Still a bit to be done...Bottom end needs balancing,intake manifold is being made (been waiting a month allready)..Then need to buy a few more things..Fuel pressure regulator,Brake upgrade,drive shafts,Chassis strengthening kit,Walbro Fuel pump,Trumpets and management.Then the car can go for the exhaust and tuning,then il be tearing up the streets.Car will be making roughly 225bhp 215nm atf.
    Here are some pics of this update




    Intake ports with swirled valves.


    Exhaust ports ( :twisted: EGR Removed )


    :mrgreen: Nice and clean
