Nubaroo Corsa B Project REVISED

[Nubaroo]

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 F18 gearbox in Corsa-B.

Looks like this for now:


Got a new head today - -will be fitting ity to the car tomorrow.

Hoping to finish the Complete setup this week or early next week

Will keep you guys updated

That's not a daewoo engine is it? The throttle body, rocker cover and oil cap looks like the opel/vauxhall version...

[Nubaroo]

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

[benzino]

is the opel version that much better?

[Efratech]

isnt that a big block engine?

I was under the impresion the corsa had a 1.6 small block.

[Nubaroo]

Hi there.

This is no longer a Corsa smallblock motor - I changed it to a 2L Ecotec motor

Looking nice there, excited to see the progress

[Nubaroo]

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

[benzino]

are you still using Dicktator ECU?

[exist3nce]

Looking good... I still can't believe you are having such luck with those F18 gearboxes handling that amount of torque. My D20's must have been made with glass gears lol

[benzino]

Aren't the opel gearboxes made by getrag, whereas the daewoo ones are made in korea?

I did not get to the point where I had to worry too much about running out of fuel ( severe clutch failure @ 0.7Bar )

I am curious how much fuel pressure you were using with the Walbro ?

I remember reading that the Bosch 044 is a pretty reliable upgrade after the Walbro wont meet demand, but I thought the 255LPH pumps were usually good to roughly 400hp.

Hi bud.

We are running 3bar fuel pressure on the Wallbro and rising to 5bar at 2 bar boost.

The Wallbro kept up till around 393 HP on the flywheel - thats when it ran a bit short.

I am feeding the in tank Wallbro directly into the Bosch 044 pump now and redynod the car - we got to 312KW on the wheels and we then ran out of injector capabillity....so now I fitted a Precision 61/57 turbo and some 1200cc injectors. Will keep you posted on the dyno results
