my mate phill just sent me sum pics of my head after he has ported n polished and skimmed it ive also so had it all rebuilt with new bits

[Walshgsi16v]

How much bhp you aiming for? Gnna be a good en

[Y444TES]

good work mate like it

[rowland]

y444tes - thanks mate im glad u like it

walshgsi16v - i hope so mate erm not reli sure yet im buying aftermarket management so i suppose it depends on the turbo, injectors, intercooler n boost pipe sizes etc. if i had to say i figure it wud be 350-400 but i dont know if i wud want more or if more would be to much power for a corsa n just make undriveable

[rowland]

just a lil update finished of stitch welding today so hopefully will get cage welded in when it arrives :thumbs:

[gazturbo]

Nice work mate

[Rs1]

Some nice work.....although it did look scary early on with your welding on the tailgate.
Should be very nice when its together. Your right about looking toward 350-400hp, more than this in a b is wasted unless its a 1/4 miler.

[rowland]

thanks for the comments guys, ye dont worry about the welding on the boot as its now in the bin and is being replaced by a much lighter one lol
