arent there some parts of the x that can be transfered onto the z so its cable throttle rather than fly by wire?

I presume the z12xe is the Twinport unit? Probably be slightly quicker than your existing 1.2 16v.

I wouldnt take on that conversion, its a completely different engine and wiring system so he would need to swap over the ecu and loom, immobiliser bits and then find a way to get your corsa B dials working, would need to wire in a fly by wire throttle system and retro fit the corsa C pedal,...........


asking for hassle IMO.

Z12XE is fly by wire, you have no chance. Find another X12XE it will make life easier.

thanks

Yes sir.

I would imagine the complete wiring of the engine would have to be changed. Would be much easier (and cheaper) to find another x12xe.
