2.2 is a good basis engine. 145ft lb of torque, more than a standard Redtop!! | |

Makarus the LET seems to be mega money to buy AND fit though and i don't think i could stretch that far :( It would have to be the 2.2 over the 2L i rekon also.. | |

2.0 16V I would say, relatively cheap, nearly any coach works could do the conversion and some decent power can be gained out of them. | |

LET would be the either the Z(ecotec) or the calibra one.Ecotec is sooooooo much less hassle to fit but the older is faster and more tunable :( I don't really want such an old engine in my car though TBH.. | |

Really, can't it be a straight swap like the Corsa C's? | |

I have to get a full rear beam for mine Daimo that's all :( More expense for not much extra braking power.Bigger front discs will do the job i rekon :) | |

quote: Not too sure about this one, but it's what Ive heard also & the engineer's report is also for updating the V5 document I think, so yeah prices seem to be right, but all they do is just make sure the engine thats in is what you say it is & that its not going to fall out! quote: No there not required, you can still keep the standard corsa brakes all over if you want (not really recommended), so just upgrade the front to ATE or V6, or some nice Hi-Spec jobbies if your wallet can reach that far! It only matters that the brakers you have, no matter what size, aren't deffective in anyway & do the job there designed to | |

Right when you get an engine conversion you need an engineers report for the insurance company right? How much do these usually cost?? £100-£200?? I gather there are a few in the old Yellow Pages :thumbs: |
