I have been reading "Total Vauxhall" and was wondering how much work and new parts would be required to fit a V6 or Calibra Turbo engine into my 94 L 1.2 corsa, how much would it cost? or should I just go for a 2 litre conversion and how much would this cost? Cheers Will

shot load of cash to do a turbo but b very quick, v6 too heavy for corsa to b honest and 2 litre is popular and a good balance of power and chepaer than the other options

depends where u go, courtney will pull ur pants down over price so we can exclude them now

Beardy in manchester will do a 2.0 Turbo conversion for £2500

V6 conversion is just not worth it compared to a turbo conversion cos its heavier and less power, and their are no 'previously designed' fitting kits for a V6 conversion into a corsa, unlike the 2.0 Turbo

Lee down in kent will do it for a similer price i think

engine,gearbox,loom,drivesahfts,hubs and mounts,brakes,tough suspension manifold should come with it anyway.
rather than get the engine, buy a calibra 4x4 turbo (thats if u go for turbo conversion) thats been in a back ender or has damaged bodywork pinch the parts and engine, the sell the interior and see a scrappy about the bodyshell

all you need really is uprated springs to stiffen the car up abit
you do not use a PVD fitting kit as if well over priced (good stuff but not worth the money)
Brakes 2lt 16v will be find and recon ones are in TV for £80

TBH get a Calibra Turbo rather than transplanting if you want the best car/performance for your money.

4X4, no traction problems, leather seats, 6 gears, style, comfort....

Great cars for the price.

I paid £2k for mine, sports transfer box, phase 3 with IC (£300), 17's, posh gauges etc etc.....

Its much more of grown up car than my nova was, quicker but quite as much fun (but more practicle/comfortable)

About 5 seconds 0-60, easily 150mph if you wanted. Should do a 1/4 in mid to late 13's.
