Description
We finally hit the moment we’ve been building towards… the first start up of our 500hp VXR V6 Vauxhall Adam 🔥
This is the first time the 2.8 turbo V6 is firing in the Adam’s engine bay and it’s been a proper graft to get here.
Before we can ever think about driving it, everything has to be right. Cooling, boost pipes, wiring, ECU, the lot. This episode is all the final jobs that decide whether it starts clean… or makes us regret every life choice that led to this swap 😅
In this episode you’ll see:
✅ Header tank and cooling system setup so it can actually hold water and behave
✅ Boost pipework finishing so everything flows right and fits tight in the bay
✅ ECU and wiring final checks and electrical problem solving
✅ The first start of the VXR V6 Adam build… the moment of truth at the end
If you’re into engine swaps, turbo builds, Vauxhall projects, sleeper cars, and garage built UK car culture, you’re in the right place. This is Twin Engine Corsa. We build stuff that probably should not fit… and then make it work.
