its all about cost realy how much u wanting to spend and what it will cost needs to be all taken into account

apparently u can get a fully forged k20 for around £1800 but i think thats just engine no gearbox, loom, etc . .
then your looking at a hell of a lot of fab work
custom mounts
custom exhaust system

its alot of work but they put out good power.
friend of mine is in the process of building a K20 turbo eg3 dx

realy like to see how yours turns out tho

How much will this cost?

a honda powered corsa b sounds epic what u gunna use k20 ?
i'll have a think about it ive got a lot of time before i start on the engine
so maybe there will be a bit more info and variety on c builds

theres miles more info available about fitting a 2.0 than there is about fitting a 1.8 and they sell a 1.8 c! the corsa c has hardly been messed with really

Small block turbo Is the way to go but management is going to be a massive cost.

Z18XE, then Throttle Bodies or a Turbo setup.

I think Z20LET is the most common conversion and therefore has the most amount of advice relating to it. Only issue is the donor engine could be expensive but that's offset by the job being easier than something less well documented.

never mine found it
your right mahussive
id right it off on a speed hump . . . . or just cave a hole through it :P

no whats the engine code ?

Have you seen the size of them? They're huge.

150 from a 1.9 tdi !
hmm with a plug in and play chip that would be rapid !
good idea :)

go for a 1.9 tdi from a vectra sri. good for 150bhp standard.. thats a different idea for you.

Corsa VXR engine?

just get a z20let if youre gonna spend money

true,
ill bare that it mind
im not one for stupid power id like a mix of both speed and looks
i like the 1.4 turbo idea cuz its decent power but still good mpg
i spose ill just have to see whats been done or being done when i get round to sorting mine out
cheers :)

Most of the time, the reason people always tend to pick a certain choice in these scenarios is because it's easiest/cheapest/etc. Being new and different isn't always the best option imo.

anyone got any ideas on a good engine build for corsa c
dont think its worth tuning the z12 unless u can get decent gains from it?
so was thinking maybe trying to source the 1.4 turbo out of an sri corsa d (just to be different tbh),
but a mate at work suggested if i wanna go all out get a z20 top end on a z22 bottom then go for a vortex supercharger (tho i assumed without asking this would be costly).
a z20let still seems tempting but want to try something new if possible.


has anyone else got any ideas ?

;)
