Star Silver 91 Gsi

Where did you get the chassis leg from Bazil ?

I'm pretty sure you can guess lol

thing is I'm going to have to remove the front part from the underfloor part as the forward section is standard nova spec and I have the forward section for the 1.6 with the extra internal plate,

Nothing is ever simple.

If you loop it into the CTS wiring yeah, or on the E16SE you wire it into the TPS so it tricks the ECU into full throttle map when it comes on boost. Obv the fuelling still enrichens via the AFM as that opens anyway. Not to mention the rising rate reg which is where the bulk of the fuelling comes from.

It's merely how Courtenay have done it. If you have driven one of their 1600 turbo's back to back with a miserable std 1600 8v like I have you'd know it is very effective.

more bits today, i was over at fellow png member grooge's house with a sthill saw to help cut up his old 13sr, ( hardly any rust but front chassis leg damage:( ) but here is what i came home withlol

Just read the whole thread mate. Loving the idea of 1600 turbo.
There's some serious amount of rot on your gsi there mate, I scrapped my gsi 2 years ago which was no where near as bad as that!! I was very reluctant to scrap it as it was a real gsi and had many a good time in it like yourself, but when I was offered a near mint nova for £250 I had to take it. My gsi will live on, just in parts for my new 1 lol. Will look forward to more updates from you, looks like you've got some good panels to repair it so good luck.

Thanks ben, the project is in limbo ATM as I need to lay a new concrete floor in the shed before I start hacking it to bits lol.
That and it's to cold and wet :(
I want the bodywork completed and painted before the end of next summer so it's not forgot about just not a priority ATM

Your brave! or are you just stupid??






lol

either way enjoy mate..

Scott

lol it's either going to turn out brilliant or a waste of expensive and rareish parts lol

pmd mate

very nice mate, will be good to see some more progress on the rebuild when you have sorted out the shed to work in mate.
