tasty little mod to the t/b coolant pipes, as they'd been cut;
http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp138/sloth_mk1_cav/STA71727.jpg

uber lightweight flywheel... ( lol )
http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp138/sloth_mk1_cav/STA71730.jpg
and what is this shizzle? some of it is bust, can i just bin it and lockwire the flaps open like the supertourers?;
http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp138/sloth_mk1_cav/STA71731.jpg
and can i weld this? its got a small crack round that hole (i've heard that before..)
http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp138/sloth_mk1_cav/STA71728.jpg
and for ernie, some dirty box pics....

http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp138/sloth_mk1_cav/STA71732.jpg
anyone got any ideas? im gonna take the inlets off and the rocker covers and have alook tonight if the weather is good, more pics then...
Id say some form of vac advance type choke thing like you get on a queerburg carb, btw you want this moving into projects seen as the thread is heading that way, what with all of the pics and such lol
please mate, i know its only an engine atm but its handy stuff to have about.
dj_wudgey
27-05-09, 11:28 PM
was going to say mate what happend to the saab lump but i see your still getting one looks good though!!
i seem to remember these having some sort of variable length inlets to get a better torque curve
stupot89
27-05-09, 11:39 PM
No probs at all matey and your a top fella your self good to meet you and your lass and your dad
indeed burgo, but ive seen a few veccy lads wedge em open. ill take that shizzle off tomorrow. any more gen?
wudgey, im going to look at an engine for the cav on sunday, fingers crossed its as good as described.
n.p stu, ill pm ya next week re. the corsa ;0
im sure you can ditch it. all depends on your driving style.
put it this way, id imagine RJ to keep it because hes a cruising fairy
On my veccy gsi that bit opens up on tickover before the engine has warmed up then you see the little plunger bit shuts some thing.Still dont know what its for.
Also nice dirty box pic but has the engine lived under the sea for a wile as it looks very rusty.
its been in a garden for a while, its actually oil stain free ernie. just surface rust. i might go have a play with the vac system now....
hay gayer hows it going whens this one gonna be finished????
lol hey rick, hows it going? gay? my ****....lol
finished? when i can find a car to put it in. ive just waited 3 days for a reply to a pm and ive just found out the car is now sold. i had the money for it all week. ah well his loss. tonights pics to follow.
well i was a busy chap tonite, i got alot of gubbins removed and inspected. i have to say, its very clean. i think its done roughly 60k, and has been looked after. no dirty kak or crud, apart from the small breather off the crankcase vent thingy. is it openable and cleanable? it seems to be sealed. anyway pics.
upper inlet and fuel rail
http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp138/sloth_mk1_cav/fuelrail.jpg
lower part, be carefull with the gaskets!!
http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp138/sloth_mk1_cav/lowermani.jpg
manifold brackets. this ones scorched from the cracked mani.
http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp138/sloth_mk1_cav/manibracket.jpg
o rings inside the rocker covers. these are meant to be wedged into their cutouts, but 1 of mine fell off. i was lucky to find it, be carefull!
http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp138/sloth_mk1_cav/rockeroring.jpg
they also do this, sticlk to the cam caps
http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp138/sloth_mk1_cav/oringissue.jpg
finally, the vac flap crap. the manis and rocker covers are getting painted, so they got removed. as far as i can see, the lower one just lets air flow round the lower set of tubes. the top interupts the flow. what i wanna know is should these be set open or shut, as i cba with the vac crap, and some of its bust.
http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp138/sloth_mk1_cav/flaps.jpg
any ideas?small top rad hose
this pipe thing feeds the throttle body, its a tiny hole and i was gonna just feed this direct to the small rad top hose, and miss the t/b altogether.
http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp138/sloth_mk1_cav/smallhole.jpg
hope this helps fellow v6 lads btw.

If any of that vacumn stuff plugs into the wiring you'll need to leave it plugged in to avoid fault codes coming up. It's all part of the dual track inlet system, like what's fitted to X20XEV's but more complicated, lol.
The cracked manifold can be welded up (someone on vecsport or vvoc has done it), but you might need to TIG it.
ok kool, looks like i need a few bits from the breakers. might paint a few bits this weekend, depends on the missus....
Aint that dales corsa, ive not seen it in a while!
no its not. dales has now got a 1.0 3cyl in it.... and his other blue un has the 2.0 8v. and its not as clean as that. got a call back bout bike carbs. i can get 2 sets for £200. now, how do i spark it? megajolt? anyone got any gen?
Southie
29-05-09, 06:03 PM
Get in touch with sbd for info on there setups of management for bike carbs. They quoted me £400 for remapable ignition for my c16xe. Send them an email and they will quote you via email.
Your other way is mbe management.
Edit: also ring Bogg Brothers for advice. Don't get they to do they conversion as they take decades lol
well, i havent updated this in ages....
i finally got round to painting the basic lump, using good ol' hammerite. i also picked up some tasty new stone-look paint from b+q. looks mint imho:d . i also whacked a few holes into the cambelt cover, to see the cogs, then realised my holesaw was too small..........:roll:
anyway pics:-
not bad for one coat....

i havent seen that stone paint in years i knew someone who painted his mk2 astra gte dash with that stuff.
Keep the updates coming
cheers jim, i wondered whether it was ok on plastics. gonna do the cambelt cover methinks, and polish the cam pulleys, or paint em black.
I can see you might get some people disagreeing with you on how it looks but i personally like it.
and hey its different.↲

6 pages to paint an inlet chamber!what were you expecting?? surely you didnt think he would have actually done something he said he was going to
6 pages to paint an inlet chamber!
And the entire engine :p
Please tell me you removed and inspected the oil cooler
I thought the engine got sold to napalm anyway?
Either there was a thread somewhere that had a link to napalm selling a V6 on corsasport with the pics from sloths garden, or I had a very funking random dream. Someone thought it was a scammer reusing pics but turned out sloth had passed it on iirc?

To be fair, my GSi had 4 pages and all i did was buy it lol
mines about 7-10 and all i have done is strip it
To be fair, my GSi had 4 pages and all i did was buy it lol
Yeah but thats a real thing called a nova and not a unicorn lol
Err, im guessing you went for the "no brushes, ill just slop it over the lump straight from the tin" method of painting on the engine, it looks like its covered in oil:roll:

i was going to have it off him in part ex for the cav but didnt have it in the end :thumb:
hallo, velkom to my update!
first, answers to questions posed.
jack, yep i did have a look, but ive also worked out a way to make an external cooler if it s fudged. looked ok mind.
ben, well done, my name isnt sloth for nothing. i am a bit slow. :d lol
mk999, nope you was dreaming, having taken some dodgy mushrooms from a mexican dragqueen called pablo......:p
spud, it got painted using b and q's finest value paintbrushes, made from 100% migweb users bumfluff....
so, tonight, i mostly ate the beans with some toast, painted a few more items with stone in a can, and polished the waterpump pulley, and fitted it, then realising the water pump groans more than a 90 year olds hips.....:(
so on the shopping list are a new pump, a new oil pressure sender ( is any vaux one the same?) and maybe a cambelt. now the current one still has vauxhall marks on it, and looks new, and has new tensioners. but the mileage is unknown, guestimated at 60k. should i do the belt?
any way pics (its mocked up btw, i need to paint and fit 20 million small bits.)
feel free to comment, order food and generally applaud/decry my mincing.:thumb:

Suede plug cover anyone lol

23-07-09, 11:29 PM
my poor attempt at humour was obviously wasted! lol
its like the black mottle effect paint, seeing pictures I wasn't convinced but while getting some bits powdercoated I decided to get a spare cam cover & belt cover done and it does look ace I must say!

oh sorry simps, i thought you was serious haha! i like it, i just gottabuy some more and do the turret and end cap of the f20, and do the main box black. then get my shell and build it alll up...... simps, your on good terms with chris astley, could you find something out for me?

Sloth:thumb:
These v6's have a slight weakness when the belts let go, they tend to mash the valves into everything, some get lucky and only need to replace the heads.
I go by the rule of if there's no receipt for the belt being done, do it anyway. It's also gonna be a lot easier to do it now with the engine on the floor nowhere near an engine bay.
about fecking time you did somthing lol looking good sloth.

cheers rick, hopefully by next weekend i should have something to fit it to,

How come you've put some big holes in the cambelt cover? are they there to let stones in?
nah, ive polished the cam pulleys, so i wanted to show em off, like most lads do with there xe's. i know that a stone may go in and muller it, but i know of 3 other v6 lumps local for pennies, so its not an issue. besides i have my eye out for a 3.2 so this is just to get it all running and done. i seriously want carbs tho, the vectra loom is huge, and cumbersome, so it will be fun hiding some of it. thanks for the comments chaps
Put it into a Cav. It'd only send the Nova head over heals when you brake hard, that said, it'll probably look like a Corsa then.

yer its an mtv edition, ive wanted one for ages. i may bang some on john, thats a top idea mate. apparently the tig has thrown its pas belt, but it still runs. im gonna take a belt with me and see whats what. am i right thinking that there is a multi v belt that has no pas or a/c? any gen?

Yeah they're multi-v. The tensioner failing is common. They have pas and iirc the mtv edition has ac.
mint, do you mean the tensioner wheel? 15mm iirc?

26-07-09, 11:34 PM
im sure you need to split the engine mount by un-bolting it as it runs through the mount mate
indeed, a mate has jus said that, cheers dougie. i may jus get a non ac, non pas belt and bodge it, lol

26-07-09, 11:59 PM
tights FTW lol
Or man up and drive it with no pas like a man lol
Bung the V6 in it and paint it pink or STFU:thumb:
its staying yellow, and its getting the v6, after i get an mot on it. wanna buy a 1.6 16v spud? :D
and it needs an alt you nuggit so it has electricity, a battery only lasts 30 mins
eewwww sloth whats goin on man your not well lol.
Sloth, get a belt for the non PS models (iirc, 1.2 8v Corsa) and fit it, it will be loose and will sqelle on low revs but it will turn the alt.
Also, sell me the ECU, Key chip and transponder please mate, I've a definate use for a set up like that.
