Free turbos? Do I have a use for them? Not yet. Do I want them? Absolutely!
Corsa as a skip? Yeah, sounds about right
Come get the turbo and manifold. There is a clutch and good flywheel too.

One of the worst cars I've ever driven - and I used to own a Laguna.

Some new toys turned up today... quick pop to the work shop to have a play... took some quick photos. If people want I will do a more indepth description.
What I have bought is a hydraulic hole cutter. So what you get is this pump
and then a range of different size hole cutters
Well we all know what a hole looks like so will skip that.... then I also bought a set of dimple dies to fit the puller
Then line it up and then pull it threw the hole and .......
Every thing is now going to get holes ..... lightened

Next up are the billit main end caps. Again supplied by Prorace engineering.
These are a love bit of machining. They look ariginal apart from being Billet. The idea it so hopefully make this engine semi bullet proof..... or we'll manic proof.. they will need machining to suit the block . Also to hold it in place is an ARP stud conversion . Again. Stronger than the bolts so hopefully more reliable

Hold on to your pants mate..... the best is to come...
Please all sit down.... here we go... again from prorace engineering. As I am going stroker now. They supplied me some JE pistons...
Who's ready for some unboxing
Mmmmmmmm. We getting closer ... ready for the goodies
They have the extra tool steel thicker wrist pin. Then I went for the thermal barrier coating on the crowns and the tuff skirt coating to help slide and prevent wear.... I wish we had see threw blocks. Or I should have bought 5. And mounted 1 on the wall..ooooooooo

You know what, I never thought I'd get impressed by a set of main end caps but damn they look good! And those pistons are so cool

Carried on making the floor plate for the pedals.
I holed and sumped the areas that are not in the way. So on reading and experimenting. The holes reduce the weight but dimpling or sumping reintroduces the strength and rigidity of the panel.
I then lined up the pedal and then drilled the holes to mount it . I used some mild steel nuts and then bolted the pedal box in to hold the nuts in the right position then welded the nuts to secure them.
Then I moved the pedal box forward an I ch or so then repeated it again so the pedal box is movable. Then gave it a quick paint underside to stop it rusting when it's welded in to position

Supertech head set polished ported and matched inlet and exhaust ports to the manifolds..... je stroker pistons every nut and bolt will be new and arp is available too. Garett g30-770 turbo. The wiring loom is going to bespoke and custom made for the whole car. Not sure whether to go monster gear set in the gear box.... or just say bugger it and go sequential... not sure on that... but with all the mods and stuff.i wanna see 575-600 bhp. But I want driveablity and reliability hence why its going overboard with every thing to give it some good life expectancy
Like i said, ill be trackside on its maiden voyage cannot wait
Thanks for the kind words mate. ..... I will be so happy when it's in paint. At least then I can throw it on the trailer and run it to a couple of shows and it looks not bad then. But at the moment it's a constant battle... every thing has to be modified and fitted and removed 20 times lol .
