Last week I had a day of z20let wire/sensor problems all due to poor coversion now sorted, also you need a clutch switch for the turbo, its critical that the wiring is done right first time. | |

pretty sure you need to change the dash loom also so it has all wiring to the accelerator pedal cos sure they is some small difference from z20let pedal and others! has 1 extra wire! | |

Ideally you would need the whole donor car then tbh! That way you could get everything. Trip comp, cruise control, brakes etc. and all of the above. | |

You would also need the Driveshafts and CV's too, if using the F23. | |

So its not a straight forward take the Z18XE + Loom out and put the ZLET + Loom in? | |

I know of a great Z20LET and F23 that could be yours for £1450. Can be seen running. | |

P.S. the first part of my previous reply was sarcastic. | |

the wiring shouldnt be to much of a problem because you have the same loom connectors etc | |

Yeah but you can't leave it as a 1.8 on the logbook :lol: | |

Well you have a coupe astra, a turbo version can be picked up for £2.5k. Your looking at that for the conversion if done properly. | |

Might be cheaper just to buy a turbo mate, easier to insure etc... | |
