As above, you f u c k e d up.

Plus cam belt and fluids probably looking at £1000 or run the risk.

I doubt it very much, all the receipts for major work were from there, and it only did 16k from when it was forged.

No i'm afraid I haven't got time to do a build thread, was 220hp lpt soon to be a genuine 300+hp when I get my @rse in gear.

Bought a turbo 172 with poor compression, stripped it to do a full rebuild and everything was tippexed, engine was built by a well known trader/tuner.

I have silicone hose on mine teed off the top of the thermostat housing back to the header tank

Can only be the water pump if it coming out from around the belt area, see what rac advise, feel for you as it's not the best time to break down.

That's detting under load mine did that to. (Standard Ecu)

why on earth are you going to ktec then? Just wondering.

Fook me that's a lot of boost hoses!!!

:rasp: A good suspension set up and strip the car, that would be the best thing to do for any sort of gains.

Sounds good, will be if it ever runs again! Focrs was selling it on here it's a modified jenvey throttle body, he made it himself.

Lightened/forged low comp, 630cc injectors, gt2860rs and gen90 fully rebuilt with arp bolts, total seal piston rings, forged rods and low comp pistons. currently mine is 220hp low pressure turbo but been building this from a spare engine. Hoping for a genuine 300-350.

hopefully il be on the list next year ;)

Good idea instant 172hp

I would like to think its either sorted by now or the engine blew up :S

Mine bangs, pops and flames.

There was one at a main dealer for £18995 a few months ago, agree that this one is silly cheap but nobody want a high tax bracket/10-12mpg 4x4 in the current climate.

There are plenty of video clips on YouTube, including a few with similar damage, compressed air cans turned upside down so they spray cold, then a heat gun, slide hammers with the end stuck onto the panel and then pdr tools to finish off. I must admit though to do it properly it is a art, I too...

Big grips that tighten as you put force on them. crows foot on a ratchet special tool ;)

When I worked at Mercedes there was a guy upstairs that had one, someone had to take his wheelchair out to him every morning, and then every now and again go round his house and tip it back on its wheels as the kids used to push it over (harsh) made a right racket.

Corsa c's are terrible if your trying to get an air lock out, I always have to use my pressure tester, does the car overheat? If all is running fine engine side it will just be blocked or an air lock.

If you remove the engine and the box you can still keep it mobile, you don't need to remove the subframe.

If it has not been mapped it won't last 5 minutes!

I answered your question, you nearly set fire to your car once, and you want to try again?

A vehicle electrician.

It's only a lpt conversion

As said fit a 1*2 engine.

Who knows the weather was so bad I couldn't tell, flying along the m40 dusk and horrific rain! I know the one you are on about.
