no one made any mounts for me. Im using standard mounts with an f20 box with a custom fly and paddle clutch going to weld a bit onto the chassis so i can use the vxr engine mount. Only other hard bit is the cost . When its all done it will probably stand me at about 4k

Someone made custom mounts for his, but i'm sure if you can just use corsa ones anyway or the vxr one with a bit of bodging or something.

It's being done atm so it's not impossible but as said a pig of a job as it's relevantly new.

As said go for after-market ECU and stuff and will make things easier as far as im aware the ECU is semi-built into the dash IIRC

vxr is 190 bhp standard

and id say would be a c*nt to fit as the VXR is multiplexed

probably possible tho jon boy

how simple is it to fit a corsa 1.6 turbo vxr lump into a corsa b gsi?

would i need to make custom engine mounts and make the vxr hubs fit?
or do the big block shafts and cvs fit?

also what is involved in the wiring side of things? i have been told i need the dash loom aswell and fit it to the corsa?

also what bhp is the stadard vxr lump?

any help would be great cheers
