easyer to just super charge the 1.4 in the long run | |

Found it myself hehe: quote: Then again, I'd like to do it on a budget if it gets done at all which means getting down to the wreckers and pulling out motors, not shipping them in new :( [Edited on 09-02-2004 by ultim8DTM5] | |

C20LET is possible when running 2 ECU's, then again, its illegal anyway. | |

quote: I'm pretty sure that the latest Astra uses electronic throttle as well, so it wouldn't be a large jump to expect them to be similar/same in operation. 17% more power, 23% more torque... C20LET is a bitch because the throttle arrangement is so different and not able to be used in NSW (where Pete lives) anyway. More thought needed on this I feel :) | |

quote: The way I think of it is if the Corsa 1.8s come from the Astra, then the 2.2 should also fit the same engine mounts (reasonably thinking, to cut production costs.) Of course, I've got no idea if the Corsa 1.4 has the same engine mounts as the Corsa 1.8. I would think that things start to get different with the 2.0 Turbo and 2.6L V6, seeing as its been said here that the Astra Turbo is a bitch of a conversion to the Corsa C, not to mention price of engines! I don't see any reason why the gearbox wouldn't bolt up either; all I know is when I look into my engine bay, I see a lot of the ground underneath, so theres plenty of real estate there. | |

I should think it would be a reasonably easy job to fit - the z22se engine is quite a compact engine - many of the coolant pipes run internally in the block/head - the engine ecu is bolted to the inlet manifold - fitment of the ancilaries is compact and therefore actually getting it to fit would be quite easy - Convert the corsa to a f23 gearbox with cable shift and gear lever - only major problem is wiring - you would have to fit the throttle pedal from the z22se and spend many hours with the wiring diagram !!!! | |

quote: I noticed that as well, but not being mechanically soudn myself I thought I'd better ask :D When do we start? I heard along the grapevine you were going to do the conversion in your garage and all you wanted was a slab of CUB's finest! :lol: Engines seem piss easy to come by, I'll scout around and if it's a goer I'll add it to "the list" | |
