Pretty sure warren or someone else who equally knows their shit said it was hard to do due to wiring. | |

I thought the 1.4 and 1.8 engines in the Corsa C were supposed to be pretty similar, so in theory it shouldn't be too hard a job. But then again I've never done a conversion so it may not be as simple as I think :lol: | |

Sell hers buy a 1.8 . I swopped a twinport 1ltr for another different engine code and in end I made a good one out of two . Massive difference between both and a ball ache. My fault for not fully checking like but I wouldn't reccomend | |

I looked into it and was lead to believe it was very hard to get it running right | |

The late Vectra Bs did come with z18xe which is the same as the corsa sri 1.8 engine | |

The 1.8 smallblock from the Vectra B is the X18XE1 which is slightly different. Also I don't think they did a twinport Z18XE, but that doesn't matter too much. | |
