Yes sir.

I would imagine the complete wiring of the engine would have to be changed. Would be much easier (and cheaper) to find another x12xe.

Z12XE is fly by wire, you have no chance. Find another X12XE it will make life easier.

I wouldnt take on that conversion, its a completely different engine and wiring system so he would need to swap over the ecu and loom, immobiliser bits and then find a way to get your corsa B dials working, would need to wire in a fly by wire throttle system and retro fit the corsa C pedal,...........


asking for hassle IMO.

I presume the z12xe is the Twinport unit? Probably be slightly quicker than your existing 1.2 16v.

arent there some parts of the x that can be transfered onto the z so its cable throttle rather than fly by wire?
