ive seen a few differant 2.0l d's on you tube, and some company doing a kit with instuctions on how to wire it up etc. it was a while ago now, the vxr hadnt been out long and it surprised me that people would do this on such a new car? | |

quote: Nah not on the D they dont. The Corsa C has a conversion kit available and indeed there are loads of z20le(x) engines fitted into C's in the uk. As far as I can see there are only 2 z20le(x) converted corsa D's in existance. One done by a chap in germany who figured out how to use the oem ecu and the other owned by richvxr in the uk. Rich had a load of problems getting his to run right on factory management so had to go stand alone in the end. Definitely not a common conversion in the Corsa D. | |

i belive that mtec or some other tunning company offer a fitting kit to put z20let/ler engines into the d and have done for several years now. very common swap over seas instead of chucking huge cash at a 1.6 to get 300bhp + with stand alone ecu's any thing is possible if youve got the space. | |

Being a 1.2 it might have been bought for economy and being a newer car, reliability? So how is it an improvement to stick an old, more than likely moon miled 2.0 into it? | |

Different I guess. But a complete waste. | |

I'd say it was more the challenge of doing it was the reason for choosing that engine. | |

RC on migweb did it IIRC. He put up a few photos in his RWD astra thread but I don't think there was a project thread dedicated to it. | |

RC from over on Mig built it, but there's not a build thread. Just a coupe of pictures. | |
