Could I use the charger, rods and pistons off a Cooper S? Then get a corsa VXR inlet mainifold and fuel rail modified to fit the charger?

What management would i need?

Thanks

It's very unlike the pistons and rods will fit, unless this is a known mod?

Nup, just curious as theyre 1.6 pistons, may be able to get away with corsa vxr rods and pistons..

just get uprated rods and pistons for the c16

the rods are supposed to be strong anyway so might be worth just getting them peened

Baxters one should be a great start, being the only one that has been finished.

His one was a test more than anything. Decomp it and it would be fine. Same as turbo'ing one.

i think me means your WAY off.

you'll be looking to get the super charger off the mini, but rods/pistons just get steel rods, forged pistons, arp bolts.

But the actual problem is mounting the supercharging, and getting it drive.

^ The mini supercharger isnt great anyway!

Best way to do it on a corsa would be to mount it on the front of the block, ofc this will mean losing pas/aircon and maybe a new engine mount, but thats what you get for wanting a supercharged corsa
