cheers bud, yeah she is quick for something we built by ourselves in a farm worksop where i go shooting.

it would be kicking out loads more power too if i had the £££ to buy some 490cc injectors so thats holding her back too!!!

thanks

[dannygti]

she seems to go well, would be good to see some in car footage..

go get some injectors and a remap and it will be good for another 20bhp

maybe 30-40 but on standard pistons.... make sure she's safe on the timing.

i suppose its all down to money, but if you look at it.. its 200quid for an extra 30'ish bhp and thats good value for power.

yeah good point bud, it mapped for safeness too which is partiallly why its still alive.

thats another reason why i havent changed inectors bud is with it being on the original standrd engine of 104k, so thats partially why i dont wanna hit anymore out of it, would blow it slef to pieces.

its 204.6bhp now and 218lb/ft torque@ 10 psi, its good enough cheap fun for a laugh on the track!.

2 head gaskets are doing the job lovely of dropping the compression(bodge)!!

cheers dan,

thats still a good figure condidering its safe.

i suppose its down to what you want to do with the car as to whats next?

you could get another 16v engiine and fit some forged pistons, then youd be good for 300bhp<... but its more money.
or you could get spare engine and wind boost up (and injectors) till your happy or she blows then put the newer engine in.?..

thats sort of the idea, if it goes bang. pich up a bottom end like off your self. bolt the head on and go again, that way never lose much money and ilt only a bit of time but thats the fun in playing with it.

if i get money id like to do pistons, rods etc but then your in the relmes of the gearbox shitting it self, then thats more money and hassle.

i think she is in a good place now between budget and power, we have done over a 1000 track miles with the turbo on and about 1500 with the bodis before so she is holding up well!!

thanks mate for correcting me,my bad. Thats what you get when you listen and talk to people that claim there friends of certain people(like the corsa owner) as i really like that car, real tidy track motor.

she does go well too, i remember when i wad just the bodies on the saxo and managemnet. he would come by me and i couldnt catch him!!.

i think up combe a lot of cars are much of a much ness, as the track is quite a fast one a lot of it comes down to cornering, grip etc.

did you boys have a good day up there? at least the weather was kind!. done 4 track days before spring action day this year and they were all pissing it down with rain!!.

cheers
