Still cheap to run and you almost have as much bhp as a 1.6.

no point doing all that unless you do it all yourself and can get an engine for nothing, 306td comes with 92bhp standard and you can turn the turbo up for nothing, (safely) and have 100bhp+. Thats less hassle, more power in a better handling chassis. :)

Get the 1.7TD engine out of a Cavalier. Think its meant to be a relatively straight forward swap

I am talking about those of yr 93, don't know if the ones on the astra g are isuzu. All I know that the ones of 93 are more reliable + if I'm not wrong are 82 bhp whereas the later ones are 75.

depends what year corsa it is, the corsa c/new combo is the isuzu 16v, i wouldn't bother with a turbo conversion though :|

my dad has an astravan new shape 1.7td, loads slower than my 306td. I would'nt bother unless it is a simple job, can't see it though.

Well you can get diesel cars which are much faster, and as cheap to run.

Corsa Diesels aren't the best examples of TD cars anyway

lol!, well mate its realy cheap 2 run n goes pretty quick! the geeza sed he cud hit 85 up a steep hill! :) which is pretty lush! and well i just want to explore if u get me! :) , n nah im sure for me 2 convert the whole engine etc would be alot more hasssel ratehr then a turbo (apparenly my engine has all the links for the turbo just some need to be added :D
