OK, well assume you are ok then as have a tensioner? Do you have any pics? Mine is a type 2 shell....

What leg was your alternator hitting???

The engine is still on an engine crane at the moment as I didnt want to put it in to find it had to come out to get a belt to fit....

Can you do me a favour, and look at your engine bay, and tell me if you undid the top securing bolts, how far back the alternator could rock on the bottom axis without hitting the bulkhead? Cheers...

iam running pas on mine, i set mine up with the XE setup double crank v pully and v pully alt.i put the ribbed belt setup on first and the alt was hitting the leg.so not a lot of room. what body type do you have 1 or 2?

what do you mean by convert it to V pulley? Sorry if im sounding a bit simple on these matters, im not a mechanic, a bit of a have a go hero!

hi mate convert to v pully

Hi mate, let me know how you go about doing this - I am doing the same, i.e. putting a 2 litre ecotec in this wekend, have removed power steering, but have the problem that the tensioner is part of the power steering mount, which has too come off as the corsa b engine mount goes where it was... see my other post..... ( http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=517709# ) let me know if / how you get around this!!!

thanks! :)

yes mount the same as the xe. :thumbs:

hi my mate is looking to put a 2.0 16v ecotec engine into his corsa b with out power steering. are thay the same mounts as the c20xe ?
