Or you could buy the M-Tec conversion kit  But, the engines are probably pretty expensive...

thats coz of the price of a Z20 being around £3k.
then you have to do all the loops in the ECU to bypass certain immobilisers and what-not.
a vectra had Z20LET in it in TV last month (i think) and he just used an F20, dont know wether thats the same as C20XE F20 or diff due to hydraulic clutch etc

Z20LET more reliable i'd say, being a newer engine and more than likely gonn have less miles on it.

Z20LETS are meant to be much more refined with a smoother power delivery and no lag.

Who say's C20LETs are more powerful than the Z20LET?
The C20LETs have been around for a lot longer so the tuning companies have had a greater amount of time to experiment with them and get the best power.
Don't forget the C20LETs have been around for ages now and most won't be pushing out what they should due to their age and mileage. Also, I very much expect the Z20LETS are toned down as they are a brand new engine for Vauxhall and they want them to be reliable and fuel efficient and low on emissions (Vauxhall has already started producing this engine at 240bhp).
The C20LET was a great engine, but give it a few more years and the Z20LET will be another Vauxhall classic!

physically fitting and mounting the engine isn't a problem, its the wiring that is the major headache

the only hard part about it is getting the engine to work with the corsa (ie dials etc)
getting the engine in and to fire isent that hard when u know how
Vauxhalls own built show corsa

As standard isn't the Z 190 and 200bhp?
C is 204, hence lower  :

The Zlet is 199bhp and the Clet is 204, thats what it says in the TV mag anyways, that bottom pic, isnt that the corsa thats supposed to be built by the guy that makes the fitting kits for the LET/XE, putting out 315bhp and recorded a top speed of 174mph (GPS recorded).
