My corsa rebuild

[broster]

been a while since i popped on here, decided to share my corsa rebuild with you.

the dreaded day when you realised 9200rpm on a pretty standard bottom end isnt such a wise idea:

very basic outline but sums it up nicely, hopefully get it running in a few weeks.

Awesome car
Had you revved to 9200rpm before? Or did it let go the first time? Still, mental revs for a standard bottom end bar arp's lol

So is it pretty much ready to go now?

[broster]

it was reving to 8500 rpm for about 6-7months used every day with no issues, then we upped the revs to 9000rpm to see what would happen.... was ok, but on track at donnington round craner curves, it carried itself over to 9200 and bad things happened!

its not far off now really, just waiting for an ecu to arrive then i can get that sorted.

[Adam]

Be good see it finished, should go very well :)
Liking the COP setup too.

[broster]

yeah, decided to go coil on plug and full sequential fuel and ignition. the management can do it so may aswell make the most from it

[Adam]

Which version of go-tech have you switched too?
The most advanced one?


Selling your old ecu??? :)

[broster]

Im using gotech mfi pro x now : http://www.jam-sport.co.uk/gotechmfiprox.asp
