getting the engine after so ill see what he was running in the cav and go from there, has anybody had to move the rad foreward for the turbo? | |

Yeah the standard pump supplies about as much fuel as the cav turbo one I believe, and the V6 is less power than the turbo so wont have a bigger pump | |

well should be able to sort it for now but really i could do with a 2.5" at least as that is wat cav turbo is standard i think, ive heard people say about using a v6 fuel pump from a cav but i looked in my vauxhall parts list and there the same part number as a corsa mpi one??? weird | |

Should really get an uprated fuel pump for phase 3.5, a corsa MPI pump will do for a standard LET but phase 3.5 is quite high power. I bought mine from Chris Astley and it runs well, Not sure of the boost for phase 3.5 but im holding 1.25 bar and needed VXR injectors to go with the pump. | |

the f20 will do till i can get a f28, gonna put a diff in it thatll give it some strenght. my mate runnes a carb'd xe in a corsa at 260-270 bhp with a diff in a f16 and that seems to have lasted. | |

A frontera one would be fine for phase 3.5 IMO but If I was you and didnt want to cut the bumper Id try looking for a wide short one which will get air across most of the surface. And intercooler which is only half exposed to flowing air is less effective than one half its size because a lot of the air effectivley bypasses the intercooler | |

ok fellas nice one, my corsa used to have aircon so the rad is huge so ill try and get a standard sport one from somewhere, il get a pacet fan from tweeks, but what sort of intercooler will i be looking at? ive seen a white gsi with a nice intercooler on migweb, was hidden behind the bumper but the crash bar was cut sightly for it to fit, think his name was tomgsi is he on here? | |

A frontera intercooler is a popular one on the corsa LET but to get air to it and get the best out of it you will need to cut the bumper. Phase 3.5 will need an effective intercooler because of the higher boost levels. | |

frontera intercooler will fit behind gsi bumper, but that will be to small for ph3.5 kind of power | |
