Opel Corsa's Turbo Underpants

[Madcorsa]

Hi Guys,

A few of you know me from the other opel forum, but since it close down I miss it. So now I'm here ;D. I drive a opel corsa c utility with a X18XE1 swop, and has been turbocharged. So here it is:
















Too much powa


I'm now in the process of upgrading the turbo and Headstuds

How much boost is it running with those pistons?

Ute ftw

Thanx guys!!

At the moment I'm running 0.7 Bar which is not much for this motor. Will be upping the boost to over a Bar on the new turbo setup.

I'm shooting more for reliability then out right power. While the engine is out I want to change the gearbox as well, cause it's running
175Km/h @ revlimiter. It is still the standard box which I think is a F17. Do any of you guys know what gearbox options I have, I do not know opel gearbox's very well? I've heard the 1.7 diesel gearbox will fit with minor mods. A guy told me a diesel and petrol has the same 1,2,3 gear except for gear No. 4 and 5 which is longer.

I don't know whether it's an easy fit, but the F23 found in the Coupe is a sweet box. Nice long gears, which is a lot of fun with a turbo.

Bit the bullet and got me a 1.7tdi gearbox. Got it for a steal so it's worth a shot.
