Hi Folks,

I have my flame suit ready, so stick with me....

The Mini JCW engine... Has anyone considered swapping it into a corsa?

Is it canbus like the VXR Corsa, I am guessing it is, and with it all the same issue would arise?

Just something a mate has tried to put in my head, and the idea of hearing a supercharger out of a corsa sounds, well, fun!

Why not put a charger on your vaux engine?

I can only remember one attempt on CS and it never ran right?

I would love to try it, and prob have the people to try it!

But the idea of an engine you know will work does appeal

its really only something that has been planted in my head tonight, and I accept the likelyhood that its just too much effort for the likely outcome.

just wondering though, I am sure I am not the only person who has considered it.

A SC conversion on a std corsa engine would be a lot easier. I very much doubt the front end of a corsa could be keept, Which if your going to all that hassle, might as well fit something completely different and better.
