prev. thread:
http://corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=223911
the thread's in the wrong section.. And, I sold the 16xe and almost all parts..
so time for a new thread.. this time in the right forum (I hope  )
The 16xe running at 155bhp was great, but unfortunately gave up on me..
burned headgasket, meltingspots in head, polished cylinders and i got a bit fedd up
pics of deheading:

pics of the rest of the dismounting:

my christmass present:
Recently rebuilt c20xe
82 degr thermostat
allready in a corsa! so includes all needed parts!
std engine and ecu ecept for the mtech sfi-replacement and K&N filter
including exhaustsystem etc...
because i've never done it before.. it did take me alot of time to get the engine out without breaking stuff
but after a few days of cursing it was ready to get welded:
Copied the M-Tech chassis strenght kit
Going to paint the entire engine bay again so dont mind the brown goo
rented a box for the rest of the work.. I think the engine will go in this upcomming weekend 
Cheers!

I don't realy have a goal.. these parts just came as a bargain from other corsa clubmembers.. and the mantzel RR chip wil be the final part on any car for me (really good stuff!!)
anything above 160bhp will be good

yes.. i do have an mtech set from the donorcar but i hear to many people about those braking @ 1/4mile take-offs...
the gsi driveshafts here in holland have been tested up to 350ps (nova 2.0 8v compressor + nos) so.. it'l be fine!
