Nice Vauxhall buddy.



















How much power does the Corsa make? Any future plans for it?
Thanks smile

The Corsa is a mates runaround, so no plans for it,
but he has a porker turbo and a 1000bhp Monaro to play with.

Can i ask how you plan on making the chargecooler (CC) larger? i thought the M112/122 units where integrated into the lower intake manifold. Are you going to be using a spacer to lift the supercharger and run a custom thicker CC? Or are you making the heat exchange (low temp rad that sits at the front of the car in the cold air-stream) larger?
Sorry, you right (heat exchanger) for the TVS2300 paperbag

What are your plans for the HE? Big single unit? adding a couple of smaller units? Rear mounted?.....

Chris.

Always a good idea, they seem a popular upgrade for the likes of the ZL1 Camaro, bigger rad more cooling capability and the more water you have in the system the more heat it can extract.
Hoping to have Neil work on it early next year biggrin

Here are some interesting ideas used on a Corvette ZR1.

Also might be worth looking at just trying to cram as big heat exchange as you can in there.

Chris.
Will have a read thumbup

Could be worth looking into the ZL1 upgrade, it uses a similar SC so the piping would in theory be similar, mounting brackets be different though.
scratchchin Mmm.
More cooling the better smile
Very happy with the car now over all, just waiting on Roger to call about meth injection biggrin

Still looking at other mods, but money abit short, while iam looking and buy a house and a flat frown
