not a fan of the spoiler, and the exhaust sticks out too far for my liking, but apart from that not the usual engine swap, interesting


Dont worry about the exhaust, was just temporary, Its got a new system now :)

where is the spoiler from?

putting the F17 internals into the F15 .... is this an easy mod? It appears to be a wider ratio if it dropps the revs at 70mph. Are the internals any stronger? Might have to do this to my GSi


The spoiler is just an ebay special, was expecting it to be as big but hey fitted it anyway.
The internals just fitted straight in, no mods at all. I did this as they are all hydraulic clutches so was easier to swat internals. The teeth in the gears are alot thicker also.

Here is my corsa b gls.





Its an x14xe with 1.8 crank, pistons and rods. VX inlet, 4-2-1 mani, ported head and 264 cams It was up for sale a few months ago as it wasnt running right on standard management and was loosing interest fast. But thought fuck it, and took the gotech standalone off of the nova. Fitted and mapped by myself with a wideband it runs perfect. Also got everything to work as standard, A/C, power steering, air bags, ABS and the standard clocks as the speedo works off of the abs.

Its only done 67k miles but the bodywork isnt brilliant, but i do 400+ miles a week in it so not too bothered.
With a F17 1.7 gearbox internals in the F15 box it does about 3200 rpm at 70mph With nearly 50mpg
