Re: Nubaroo Corsa B Project REVISED

OK so I had the Corsa on the dyno today - Only managed to get to 1.6bar boost( 252WKW/480NM) as Wallbro fuel pump (255LPH) could not keep up with fuelling demand. Will add Bosch 044 pump later this week and re-dyno car I did not get to the point where I had to worry too much about running out of fu...

Opinions neded on K1 Conrods

However - my tuner recons that the K1 rods are not strong enough for 400WKW.....?? Anybody used these rods be...

Nubaroo - Corsa VS Suzuki Bandit 1200cc

Had a run against a friend of mine on his Suzuki. This engine in my Corsa is the old engine from my Daewoo Nubira. I have refreshed the motor but as I am only running with 1300 sideshafts on the Corsa I am keeping the boost down to 1.2 bar and I am running on street tires. We had a running start fro...

Re: Nubaroo Corsa B Project REVISED

Hi Bud.

Quite right there.

There is nothing Daewoo left on this build - it is pure Opel now LOL!

I referred to it as my daewoo motor as it is the one that was in my daewoo Nubira.

Gonna build a 2.4L Ecotec motor for my daewoo :D :D :D

Nubaroo Corsa B Project REVISED

OK so I got tired of battling with getting the 1.8L motor to make decent power..... Sold the complete motor to a friend of mine( he is happy with 200 Wheel Kilowatt) and whipped out the Daewoo motor. :twisted: Refurbished the Daewoo motor with some extra TLC this time. Fitted Daewoo subassembly and ...

Re: Help needed - Daewoo Lanos 1.6

OK so the TD04H turbo is poked......think some foreighn matter got inside the oil feed when I rebuilt the motor :( Repair cost is R2500 and a NEW GT28 bush turbo is R3000 so I decided to change turbo to GT28 :D This should make quite a lot more power as it is better suited for an 1800cc engine BUT I...

Re: Help needed - Daewoo Lanos 1.6

So just for the peace of mind, the head studs did finally arrive correct? Hi Garret. Nope still waiting fir the head studs - I have assembled the car with standard headbolts for now. Gonna just keep the boost under 1 bar till the ARP kit arrives. Posting the studs apparantly takes around 8 weeks fo...

Re: Help needed - Daewoo Lanos 1.6

What do plan to do in order to shorten the rods by 1.5mm ? Seems like it would be less hassle to machine the pistons ( either remove crown material or move the wrist pin up towards the crown or a combination of the two ) Hi there. I would not like to machine the pistons as I am worried to weaken th...

Re: Help needed - Daewoo Lanos 1.6

OK just a quick update. Fitted the 700CC injectors and redynod the car - at 1 bar boost we experienced some detonation and popped the headgasket in the process. Granted the headgasket is a Cometic one that was used for a second time and I am still running stock headbolts it is understandable that th...

Okay - just paid for a ARP headstud kit from GSE-Turbo! Should be receiving that shortly :D

Also putting the 750cc injectors from my daewoo Nubira into the Corsa - now we will be good for about 250Wheel Kilowatt :D

Will keep you guys posted 8)

Re: Help needed - Daewoo Lanos 1.6

Nice work man!! 260whp+ on the 1.8L sweet. I'm glad someone here on the forums is still pushing the envelope and making progress =) Thanks bud - some guys here in South Africa have taken the small block Corsa build to 300+ Wheel Kilowatt :shock: My engine is built to get there if I fit ARP headbolt...
