Yeh thats wat he said.

er, didnt that guy say it cost him 13k to do it!

read the feature in total vaux from a month or so ago. he had to make a custom pedal box and run 2 ecu's and stuff.

its well a bitch to do.


its a let tho aint it..probably cheaper to put in a xe but still £4k is probably doin most of the work yourself!:thumbs:


same sort of engine tho.,

ud still have to run 2 ecu's and shit.

who gave u the price of 4k?


noonster > the guy that owns the corsa c is the guy that makes pvds 2ltr nova nad corsa conversion kits. So hes made this car so that he knows how to convert others. at end of feature it says he will do the smae conversion on a corsa c for 13k.

Hi , im new to the forum and I was just wondering whether anyone knows if anyone is producing 2.0 litre transplants for a corsa c, or am I gonna have to wait till the Corsa turbo comes out to get some descent power? cheers :thumbs:
