Right, so i have bought a C20XE, later type engine, with the electronic distributor
And im currently in the middle of rebuilding it, to completely renew it before i go thrashing it about lol.
I managed to get hold of a set of LET pistons, as i read somewhere that they are needed to convert it.
I was just wondering what else i would need, and how hard it would be to stuff the whole lot into my Corsa B engine bay 
Any help would be appriciated.
Cheers

Cams are different (can get away with using the XE inlet).
Throttle body is different.
AFM is different.
Loom is different.
ECU is different.
Injectors are different (get a rail and FPR).
Block needs an oil return in the front for the turbo.
You need a turbo, intercooler and hosing.
You need the top hat.
Oh, thats also assuming the bores on your XE block are mint and wear free...
