I know this is meant to be about Ford's but aswell as my escort turbo I have a corsa B.
Bare in mind this is only a run around for work etc so please dont shoot me
I bought it with a knackered engine so Ive put a 1.7 cavalier isuzu turbo diesel engine into it, fitted a bleed valve, knocked it up to 20 psi, removed the white ring from the fuel pump diaphragm, wound the max fuel up a bit, removed the cat and middle pipe and after fitting a KnN air filter it even chatters
Its only for work really, but im finding it so much fun.

Anybody else done anything similar or know of other ways to get a bit more poke out of it?
Obviously its not as quick as an S2 or anything but it certainly gives the saxo VTS boys a run for there money (its quicker than a standard VTR) and is still good on fuel

Of course comments and suggestions are welcome

Not got any info for you as Im afraid I know very little about tuning diesels, but that sounds like an awesome little runaround

Thanks for the comments guys




The engine bay picture was taken before I fitted the KnN
The picture of the knackered gearbox is what I did when I dropped a gear and let the clutch rip
. I have also had to fit a bigger drive plate as the smaller original sized 180mm plate slipped on boost and it was brand new. Its now running a corsa GSI 200mm drive plate with a diesel pressure plate and thrust bearing.
When I fitted the engine I added PAS as these are heavy engines.
I bought another white corsa for the white arches, trims, bumpers and rear spoiler. Then I added electric windows, mirrors and central locking. Ohh also fitted a new black interior as the poverty spec corsas have a horrible grey trim.
Its also got a boost gauge fitted in the drivers side centre air vent and she holds 20 psi. She has a cavalier IC fitted.
If anyone wants pics and help on how to fit this engine to a corsa or nova I would be more than happy to help. I dont fit straight in like the 1.5 diesel and 1.5 turbo diesel but its not far off.
