Looking forward to seeing this engine build, mine is built with wossner pistons and PEC rods. I'm wanting to build a spare engine in the near future and be nice to see how you guys get on 😉

Thanks Nathan! Glenn here, I am excited too, Russell helped me build my B204 Saab engined Mk4 Astra so I can't wait to see his Corsa finished! He will fabricate a custom exhaust manifold to mount a GT2871R on this too, so it should be lively!

Keep up the good Work Glen

Great video Glenn!

What are the best pistons for this engine? I see there is a few options on the Market but dont know the differences

In our opinion, Wossner are the most popular and the quality is top notch!! 😀👌

Cool video and you guys definitely know what you’re doing, how much would something like this cost out of curiosity?

Well the 2nd hand engine cost approx £300 and the rebuild kit along with the modifications will run into a couple of grand! :) Thanks for your comment and feedback! Much Appreciated!

Why did it bend the rod?

hey lads bit late to this video but im looking to upgrade to an entry level performance car for my second one and the vxr seems the best of them all, the only thing holding me back is this piston 4 problem but im only running it stock for year until im 21 (cheap sky modded insurance) and then ill be looking to forge etc would you recommend getting one as long as it gets the required tlc?

Having owned 2, the first one i blew up myself because i used to treat it piss poor. The second one was a better story as i treat it properly, they're fine. So long as you genuinely do look after the car, let it warm up, cool down etc etc then it's fine. One thing to remember is when you get a remap, make sure to change the injectors as in stock form the engine is being pushed to the limit as is. Change of injectors + a remap is actually considered safer than standard. Other than that, they're a fun car, sound great with an aftermarket exhaust, really really quiet without. I might be getting a 3rd one haha

@@Wyan860 To be fair mate, it's only because they're quite cheap to get your hands on, and because it's usually a car someone gets as their first "performance car" it's also a car were they learn about, which means a lot of shit breaks, they are decent cars

Why did it crack the piston

@HoldErFlat

Most likely caused by the typical fuel supply problems suffered on cylinder 4 in these engines! Mix that with bad service regimes... And you have a disaster waiting to happen! We are only guessing as we dont know the history of the car and engine!

3:43 You never showed us why that happens?

@HoldErFlat

5 жыл бұрын

I am no expert, but I believe the build up on cylinder 4 was caused by a mixture of a bad burn cycle mixed with oil, we believe the cracked piston was cause by the common fuel starvation of cylinder 4 on these engines which in turn could have caused the rod to bend!
