Right just a few quick ones...
1.) what will i find a c20xe in aka...calibra, astra...but from what years, and which models..(gsi,sri,gls?) cause im guessing i dont want an ecotec lump
2.)advice on sourcing the engine...in experience...what shall i go for, a running lump in a car, engine sold as parts, or get one from a already converted corsa/nova etc
3.) shall i rebuild...depending on what engine comes out of?
4.) i need an M-tech conversion kit? and an engine/f20? box...what else?
5.) emission/MOT things on should know, registering the car...what needs to be done,etc?
6.)what performance we talking...standard 150 bhp lump (know it will have lost some)?
7.)c20xe the soundest lump? they have any known problems?
8.)overhaul of engine...new sparks, plugs, filters, oil, belts ,etc...anyone list it all??
9.)am i stupid?
car is a 1998 corsa 1.4 16v if helps at all...looking for answers into whole conversion...and basically someone to tell me how to do it/do it for free
ALL HELP WOULD BE GREAT LADS! as its abit hard to find information on conversions i find...IM DEFO NOT A MECHANIC!!! but i do fancy doing this one myself, even if it takes me 6 months
cheers rob
