if it was to go in a nova ud need it seam welded, but with a corsa theres no need.

think theres an engine in classifieds for about 450 to buy

rite so i need a c20xe where can u get the engine from. do i need a gearbox aswell.i know i need the ecu and wiring loom.is there anything else i need.

C20 XE is the 2.0 16v. C20 LET is the 2.016 v Turbo lump.

wheres the best place to get the engines from.is the C20XE just a basic 2.0l.i dnt want massis amount of power so i'll give the turbo a miss.

conversions are pretty straight forward. go for c20xe or c2olet turo

manufactuers spot wled the body panels for quick assembly this isnt very strong.so to seam weld its just a case of running a seam of weld along the join to strenghten the joint.its a simple but slow process

what does it mean to seam weld your car?

so i dnt need to seam weld.how hard is the conversion to do and what will i need.which engine is the best to use.bearing in mind a want one with as much tuning parts availbel as possible.

u dont need it seam welded

i want to put a 2.0l in my corsa.but i've been told that i need to seam weld my car is this correct and if so where can i have it done.i wanna do as much of the conversion as possible to save on cost.
