Is this easier to do than a C20LET as I have heard storys about how hard it is to do? and who can I call to get this job done?
This is just an idea at the mo but all help is appritiated and could convince me to go for it.
Any advice on both engines in a Corsa C SXi is needed
Cheers Guys

In theory I'd guess the Z20LET would be easier seeing as it will use many of the same electronic bits like the Z12XE (drive by wire throttle, etc) but the price of a Z20LET must be astronomical!
Saying that, go get in done Jase - then I can have a go

transplant into a corsa C is a bitch due to multilpex wiring compared to the older looms...
hence i have only seen 2 in the country done.. a lot of work..
would deffo..opt for the the original LET..
.. 370bhp into a corsa

Thats why I was thinking Z20 rather than C20 due to the wiring? I am getting really lost now with what to do
