Couldn't agree more. I have tried buying golfs ect passats, but I always always miss the nova/ corsa I have had 6 novas and I'm on no 4 corsa b, I always go back to them... and always do the conversions... 14. Sr lumps to then 1.6, then corsa b redtops ect. I have settled on the small block xe with big cams mantzel inlet ect...There is no feeling better than shocking my pals in there financed cars. Fair play what a build.
@TwinEngineCorsa would love to do this to my corsa burg but don't know anywhere does the conversion and iam not mechanically minded so couldn't do myself
What a mint idea/car. I've driven literally got to be hundreds of corsa vxrs when I used to work for vauxhall (I bedded loads in on pdi's trust 😂) but with an astra vxr lump I'd imagine that to be a right laugh 💯👌
Great channel lads, now first things first I’m a ford man. However up until separation as a family car we had a Chevrolet Captiva. This has the 2.2 vcdi engine ie a General Motors product used in Vauxhall, Saab etc . Liked the car and the performance was very good . New found respect for Vauxhall. As with the ford tie up with bloody vw though the psa takeover means theyre all platform sharers which i detest! The proper Vauxhalls are proper, like the old school fords and it’s a shame both makers are shadows of what they were in my era of 80s,90 and noughties. Love your channel , best wishes and I shall watch with great interest.
Love your channel been watching a while. I'm 42 from East coast USA from NOPI days. Appreciate your true passion and humbleness. Got a great recipe for success just keep it up and I got this you tube thing. Peace and love from across the pond.
Love it im a Vauxhall head and this is definitely a trick Vauxhall missed out on… id love to see a zafira Gsi with a 2.8v6 turbo conversion out the vectra etc I’m a zafira Gsi guy as I got kids but I’ve owed all the Gsi’s to date over the last 25 years of driving my first car was the mk2 cav Gsi 2000 beautiful in white and from there my love of Vauxhall started
Looks a solid build that, nice and smooth with the delivery and sound too. Have you blanked the recirc valve or is it just a loud one like forge or turbosmart?
Had a MK1 Uno turbo. Hybrid turbo dyno'd 180bhp. One of the most frightening cars I've ever driven! Sadly snowy afternoon in 2006 engine detonated cylinder 1
For some reason my vxr doesnt seem to make that flutter noise much if at all anymore, idk why. It used to do it pretty much everytime i changed gear at one point
Nice video M8 . However i do feel i need too correct you in your info. Vauxhall didnt make 1000 of the VXRacing . They actually made 888 (Combined). Across 2 models the Astra & Corsa . To celebrate the 2009 BRITISH TOURING CAR CHAMPIONSHIP SUCCESS. The reasin they made a combined 888 models is because the Engineering company who built the Racing cars for Vauxhall for the British Touring Cars Championshios is called 888 Engineering . Mine is Number 314 on a 10 plate 😉
I've always said they should have come out of the factory with an astra vxr engine ,fair play mate credit where it's due this is an awesome build ,literally looks like it's always been there 👌☮️
Well running Corsa E OPC aka vxr 300hp with stock internals so far no issues. Injectors ofc changed and turbo etc... But engine change is not needed tho can't speak about D Corsa but E is much better in every aspect.
There was actually only 444 of the Corsa Racing and 444 Astra Racings (888) Corsa are even numbers and Astra are odd 👍 Obviously not a dig, just good knowledge wise as actual rare! Excellent build ❤️
front heavy, Corsa B was a bitch for being front end heavy I had a 1.4 16v sport and even with the 1.4 it was front end heavy the newer models are nothing. I put cavb breaks on it, did suspension, struts basically all need for the engine swap and then lost my income. Also body work was needed as third bodykit got wounded and so with no money the car got stripped and shell was registered as scrap and it was gone to a banger racer.
Can't believe it I sold my nova for 3.5k back in 2010 I spent a pretty penny on it had brembos on front with cavalier rotors still drums on back I do miss it now
There wasn't 1000. There was 444 corsa and 444 astra made numbered in odd and even numbers. Of the corsa vxracing there now only 198 left taxed on the road.
Try enjoying the content rather than googling the stats 😂. Good video lads keep them up. They cracking videos. Love watching them, even if they are not a 100% accurate 😂
If you look on howmanyleft you'll see that they made more Astra VXRACING looking at the figures there were only just over 400 Corsa VXRACING and way over 444 Astra VXRACING produced for the UK market only. So to put that into context given that there are just over 200 (including sorn) Corsa left make them the most rare VXR out there. Especially how many VXR'S are being broken.
I don't need to go Google stats I own vxr racing corsa my self and keep an eye on the stats. I know what I know because I own one not because I'm looking for wrong information to correct.
@scottsvxr a lot was wrongly registered as vxracing at the dealer. But what vauxhall say is officially 444 corsa 444 astra 888 with ideal if it lining with the racing team 888. Corsas was numbered even and astra numbered odd that why you see high numbers giving the idea that there was like 1000 each which ain't the case.

Funny enough I can't stop searching for corsa b's id love one as my first project 👌😎
Appreciate the comment mate, like you said, no better feeling
@TwinEngineCorsa would love to do this to my corsa burg but don't know anywhere does the conversion and iam not mechanically minded so couldn't do myself
Very cool! The look on the young lads face when the BOOST comes on is why we mod them! nice! Always room for some retro boost! Whooompmtttsh!!!
Exactly!
Top effort mate! Car sounds mega 👌🏼
Thanks 👍
Uno Turbo's are legendary.
Agreed🙌
What a mint idea/car. I've driven literally got to be hundreds of corsa vxrs when I used to work for vauxhall (I bedded loads in on pdi's trust 😂) but with an astra vxr lump I'd imagine that to be a right laugh 💯👌
Proper laugh mate, proper car
A moment you & your son will never forget👍
Not wrong atall🙌
Awesome build!

Love it, don't remember this version either but always loved the look of the Corsa VXR. Seems to put it's power down well in the dry. Great job ❤

Always great to hear about supporters across the pond, thank you fella👏
Awesome build guys
Looks right at home in there dude, lovely job 👌
Fantastic build and well done. Like the idea of someone winning it too.
What a weapon!!! Great build bruv!! What an awesome game plan you have!! Legend!!👍🏻
Appreicate that mate👏👏

absolutely beauty mate, jesus
I'm not your standard car fanatic and not necessarily a vauxhall man but this one is incredibly appealing to me 👌🏻
love your build man. almost as cool as the twin corsa lol
Appreicate that mate
Such a sick build
Thank you mate
For some reason my vxr doesnt seem to make that flutter noise much if at all anymore, idk why. It used to do it pretty much everytime i changed gear at one point
i want to learn more about the 1.8t bam engine corsa vxr mate

These are almost out of the nonsey stage, nice weapon
🤣🤣
Would love to win that!! I’ve had nothing but problems with my Z16LER ever since I brought it
Fingers crossed for you mate🤞
I've always said they should have come out of the factory with an astra vxr engine ,fair play mate credit where it's due this is an awesome build ,literally looks like it's always been there 👌☮️
Appreicate that mate! Don’t think they did because it would have been faster than the Astra
Great car great build, I would just get rid of the dump valve 😊
Decent work that
Thank you fella
So my next question would be what you did to bypass the CAN?? 120ohm resistor?? and what you did to enable the MK4 Astra immo system?? 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
Well running Corsa E OPC aka vxr 300hp with stock internals so far no issues.
Injectors ofc changed and turbo etc... But engine change is not needed tho can't speak about D Corsa but E is much better in every aspect.
Oh I agree the standard A16 from both the E and D will make 300hp.
Try making 700hp. The Z20 is off the shelf parts and tested.
Quality build... I have a 300bhp zaf gsi and that's fun so I bet that's the bollocks 😊
Cheers mate👍
I'm not a fan of vauxhalls, but what a build you do such good work
Appreicate that!
There was actually only 444 of the Corsa Racing and 444 Astra Racings (888) Corsa are even numbers and Astra are odd 👍
Obviously not a dig, just good knowledge wise as actual rare!
Excellent build ❤️
love it’s

A guy in South Africa has built a 2.4 4x4 one.
VXRacing lad, my dad sadly got rid of his ;(

Can't believe it I sold my nova for 3.5k back in 2010 I spent a pretty penny on it had brembos on front with cavalier rotors still drums on back I do miss it now
