might be a good move, but you would have to add another o2 sensor, which would bring the eml on (unless you can stop that) due to decat

throttle pedal from a c, bolt straight on?

much more wiring?

I dont mind running a sport cat.

The wiring isnt really an issue for me, and as the corsa B doesnt really have a proper pedal box hopefully its not a big job fitting the hardware.

the standard rods look alittle weak, dont think they will take too many revs

cant fit arp bolts, as i found out, (1.6 arp bolts) even through the bolts are the same lenght as the 1.6, the rod design is different and half the threads stick out!

im fitting x16xe rods, as they are stronger and can us uprated rod bolt (conrods are identical it height etc)

well in that case, cams, lighten flywheel and a remap and your sorted

dbilas inlets are not alot better than the standard item, been in a few C's, one with a standard inlet and exhasut manifold, just shy of 150bhp, and went well

make your own style power box for it!

Not at the mo.. I've got my hands on a spare block but I need to strip it down and check out the condition of the crank and bores.. I want to see if its worth doing a low C/R build for a turbo

Just a thought, if you moved the battery to the boot, would you be able to mount the header tank in it's place?
