The Vectra B from 98 to 01 is X18XE1

And if it's a 16V corsa then it'll go on standard mounts

Yea the X18XE is big
And XE1 is small

Im confident 1.2 16V mounts aswell yea as the 8V shell differs to 16V shell.

DaveyLC will clear it up on that particular one.

But it's all pratically like for like, little few fiddly bits but nowt major.

Im in process of this conversion atm

they came in the corsa's but they are fly by wire(z18xe), and in the astra's and vectra facelifts(x18xe1) davelc has one for sale in classifieds, he knows everything about the conversion, i think he is the first one to do it.


there is only one mount that dosnt fit on the 1.0l 12v and 1.2 16v. and the radiator dosnt fit, and the aux belt also needs a tensioner, they use more of the 16v sports corsa b
