About 5 seconds 0-60, easily 150mph if you wanted. Should do a 1/4 in mid to late 13's.

what sorts times would u expect for it 0-60? top speed?

ya can really make em look nice if ya spend a few quid.:)

Great cars for the price.

I paid £2k for mine, sports transfer box, phase 3 with IC (£300), 17's, posh gauges etc etc.....

Its much more of grown up car than my nova was, quicker but quite as much fun (but more practicle/comfortable)

TBH get a Calibra Turbo rather than transplanting if you want the best car/performance for your money.

4X4, no traction problems, leather seats, 6 gears, style, comfort....

turbo :-
engine with loom ECU all pipes everything
Box - F20 OR F28 (6speed) with blanking plate and mount
Shafts and CV's
Hubs
Exhaust system

V6 :-
engine with loom ECU all pipes everthing
Box - F20
Also needed :- F20 clutch and fly wheel, custom manifolds
Shafts and CV's
Hubs
Exhaust system

Extras :-
Brakes
Suspention (the car need lowering AT LEAST)

£1500 for standard engine.
£300 for suspension
£200 for brakes
£700 for fitting kit

engine,gearbox,loom,drivesahfts,hubs and mounts,brakes,tough suspension manifold should come with it anyway.
rather than get the engine, buy a calibra 4x4 turbo (thats if u go for turbo conversion) thats been in a back ender or has damaged bodywork pinch the parts and engine, the sell the interior and see a scrappy about the bodyshell

also ull have to change exhaust, suspension, brakes

depends where u go, courtney will pull ur pants down over price so we can exclude them now

Beardy in manchester will do a 2.0 Turbo conversion for £2500

V6 conversion is just not worth it compared to a turbo conversion cos its heavier and less power, and their are no 'previously designed' fitting kits for a V6 conversion into a corsa, unlike the 2.0 Turbo

Lee down in kent will do it for a similer price i think

shot load of cash to do a turbo but b very quick, v6 too heavy for corsa to b honest and 2 litre is popular and a good balance of power and chepaer than the other options

I have been reading "Total Vauxhall" and was wondering how much work and new parts would be required to fit a V6 or Calibra Turbo engine into my 94 L 1.2 corsa, how much would it cost? or should I just go for a 2 litre conversion and how much would this cost? Cheers Will
