Cheers for you opinions but i think i'm going to have to just put a standard lump back in :( it's only my run around for the winter i just wanted a little bit more poke.
My only other option is my mate has smashed his nova gte/gsi (can't remember the model) would i still have to change loom and box?

u want the one out of an ealry cesaro etc ;) 1.8 16v redtop, supposed to be 115 bhp but ive not heard of any come of the rollers that arent pushing about 140 bhp standard.

rsss?

is it the 8v engine ur on about cos theres also an early 16v too

The quick answer is put a 2 litre in, not only is there more known about this conversion but its also more powerful.

Depending how early you're talking (I assuming mk4?) you may have a cable drive box which is potentially more difficult. Plus there's the issue of mounting and getting shafts to a non-standard box. Assuming its different of course, you'd need more info on exactly what the bottom end and box are.

Just wondering what would be involved in putting the early astra 1.8sri engine into my corsa sri? My car is the early 8valve sri just incase it makes any difference.
Any help and info welcome.
