surely putting this question up on MIGweb is enough??? The folks on there will know more than on here. At a guess you should use Astra GTE driveshafts. why dont you just plump for the 2.0 Turbo engine? reliability will be very poor on this 1.8T engine.

just want to know if it will fit and what is needed? ie. driveshafts, mounts, wiring it in, etc. i have been informed that it is a 1.8 8v that has been converted

i have got the cash burning a hole in my pocket and want to do this conversion more than a 2.0 16v but if not guess i will have to settle for it.

i need to know how different the wiring of the engine will be and if it has been done before.

which mounts would i have to change and which to use, ie . would i use a 1.8 8v mk1 astra mount or what? also driveshafts would the pvd ones for corsa b fit? or if not get standard mk1 1.8 8v astra driveshafts and get them shortened???? as a temporary measure?

Any Help would be much appreciated, need to know soon as there is one going which i want to buy.

Cheers
