if its a derv one youll melt it in minuites. on a 1.6, just look at dirtydog1's corsa in projects.

I've seen Cav TD ones used on Honda Civics without any melting. The Turbo started to leak oil after 3 or 4 Days on the track but thats was it.

[Sloth]

due to the higher egt's the internals will melt if pushed hard. there is a small possibility that the gt15(t2) used on teh cav td's is a petrol unit, but i have also heard there are 2 types of gt15......
