speakin 2 a mate this morning, who knows shit about vauxhall..
he says his mate has, a c20xe in a corsa with.... a k and n air filter, full zaust system and a superchip...
he says its running a proven 181bhp
i said he is talking shit...
he then went on 2 say how its using a 1.4 gearbox so that he could still use his standard shafts and hubs....
please tell me i am correct and he is a grade a saddle jockey of the highest quality.

F15 is the amount of tourqe it can handle ie 150lb so the SBD 250bhp engine running the F15 gearbox wont be pushing scarey tourqe, dont know the exact figure but it wont be far off 150

using standard hubs and shafts along with a 1.4 gearbox is a bit like signing your Death Certificate
He's talking bollox anyone with half a brain would use a F20 gearbox and proper Conversion kit
