In about the next 4 yrs do you think it will be possible to easily put a 2.0 lump in to a corsa C??

cause if i buy one this mod will be on the wish list.

Thats why I was thinking Z20 rather than C20 due to the wiring? I am getting really lost now with what to do :boggle:

Saying that, go get in done Jase - then I can have a go ;) :D


Fingers crossed if it is do able, I will be seriously looking into it there was a rolled Astra coupe turbo in a scrappy my uncle was at :!. He mentioned putting the engine into my car for a laff but it has now got me thinking


i wanna getthe 1.6 turbo when it comes out and swap it from my 1.2.

Is this easier to do than a C20LET as I have heard storys about how hard it is to do? and who can I call to get this job done?

This is just an idea at the mo but all help is appritiated and could convince me to go for it.

Any advice on both engines in a Corsa C SXi is needed

Cheers Guys
