	and yes, wouldnt consider putting 2ltr in a nova without welding the bay up.

	nova kit has one spacer(for the gearbox) and one engine mount(offside engine). The hubs are the same as corsa ones and shafts are a slightly different length, about 3/4" shorter I think, probably wrong on the length bit.

	quote: Originally posted by Cybermonkey24 he will need to seam weld the engine bay to strengthen it. do you really have to do this? i bought a nova with an xe in it already and went to change it and noticed it wasnt seam welded and i hadnt had any problems. Now i am running more power its all seam welded tho.

	He needs a Nova fitting kit which has more mounts and no Powercap because he can use the SFi box instead - better option because you keep the torque up.... Is he getting the engine off of the Astra?

	Not seam weld, stitch weld its better for the car. If it was a 1.6 8v he will have a MPi pump already.

	surprised if its still alive now. The rust was killing it before I sold it for £4k.

	he works for Bodytechnics (might be bodytone) they work on Ferrari, Lambo, Bugatti hes a bodywork/painter.. so he can weld up the enginebay too.. thats not a problem :D

	JUST sold my fitting kit last Monday and I have an F20 box! Also, need to change the fuel tank depending which one he has to allow for the fuel pump/lines i think.

	Get the m-tech fitting kit (mounts, hubs, shafts, powercap) as that takes away the hassle of sourcing individual parts. He will obviously need the engine gearbox (f20) loom fuel pump and fuel lines (if his current engine isnt injected) Can do it all for well under £900 Seam weld the bay, adding harry hockley plates (£90), not essential to add the plates, but why not. As for the 45's - second hand they fetch about £500.

	fitting kits you can get from usual places, as its basicly the same kit as the corsa. but s said you will need to weld the engine bay.

	how much will it cost for my matey Tom to put a 2.0l into his Nova.. as his 1.6 8 is now deader than dead.. (it has a big hole in it, and its kinda missing a piston) all he wants to know is..... how much is a fitting kit (does it comes with driveshafts etc etc) to get the C20XE engine.. he doing it himself (hes quite handy with a spanner) will be needing all the usual bits that go with these conversions brakes gearbox loom although he was also asking.. if he uses webbers or something like that.. then there will be less wiring ? how much are they ?? Cheers anyone Steve:thumbs:
