Hey everyone. I've got a 2.0ltr 16v engine waiting to go into my Corsa B.
First of all, Does anyone know where I can get a Driveshaft and hub converion kit cheaper than £480.
Secondly, has anyone got a 2.0ltr conversion with Power steering. I know it's recomended without but I live in the city so it would be handy of course. Does it really make that much difference.
Any help would be much Appreciated.

get an mtech conversion kit from lmfvaux.com
powersteering isnt a must, but nice to have, i have electronic powersteering on mine, which is even better, as theres no pump or fluid etc

I do originally have power steering. But was wondering if it's better to take it out for the 2.0ltr. So does anyone know if the Nova driveshaft and hub conversion kit fits the Corsa.

The Nova driveshafts and hubs will fit, but the mounts will be wrong, you need a Corsa 2.0 engine mount.

On the latest Corsa's they have electronic power steering rather than hydraulic. Not sure what is needed to convert though.

Ok. I understand what your saying. Would I be able to use the engine mount from a Cavalier 2.0ltr SRI?

Nope, you need one made for a Corsa, just buy the fitting kit, they are really worth while. If you don't want to fork out you can get Cavalier hubs modified to fit to your Corsa, use Cavalier equal length driveshafts and have an engine mount made up for you...

You also need anti rollbar spacers and a new inlet plenum because the anti rollbar hits the exhaust manifold and the SFi box hits the bulkhead.
