Z20LEH Engine Conversion Update

The Astra Z20LEH engine conversion is progressing well.
All of the major components (engine, gearbox, driveshafts etc.) are now back in the Corsa Race Car. Work is continuing on the fabrication of the numerous bespoke brackets required to mount things such as the ECU, various sensors, air intake system. In addition we will be manufacturing a full 3" bore race exhaust system. We already have produced the exhaust front downpipe and front sections, which have been ceramic coated, so we need to concentrate on the rest of the system. We have selected a full 3" bore size for the system, this is to maximise peak power from the engine but also to keep torque levels high as well, it's the perfect solution. Secondly we have used only the highest quality of stainless steel for the construction and used only the highest motorsport specification catalytic converter (200 cell to ensure it meets MOT test standards and all UK emissions laws).
