what is the biggest engine that i can turbo that will drop straight in a corsa?

I no a 2.0 ltr cav or charlton will but i was chattin to some sum guy the other day and he said he droped a 2.0 turbo calibra engine!

How hard is it to do this cuse i wanna make a trak car and he said tht is the best way for power, he beat imprezas, skylines and supra in it apprently?

Can some one help me please?

Also any extra goodys i can put in there to help traction cournering stablity etc etc etc wood be helpful as well

Cheers Trigga

Mate re word about 90% of it and it might make sense

a Cav or Calibra engine will fit

and cav or calibra turbo engine will also fit

its basically the same conversion

it might beat cars mentioned

it wont make a good track car

youd need convertion mounts for the C20LET (calibra turbo), adn for the XE (redtop engine)

a 1.8 8v engine will drop straight in without mounts i think... u could turb that

1.6 sport would make the most sense. Broster car off here proves that, The 1.6 engine is lighter so will handle better and i think his car was running close to 190bhp?

sorry to say this mr dallas, but it will make a good track car with a 2.0 or 2.0 turbo engine. if you are a skilled driver the extra weight over the front end wont matter. ask ak. ask myself. infact no dont ask me, i dont respond to u2u's anymore

i dont think you should have a LET corsa track car, as you were not aware that it could be done, and it was essentially the same engine as a XE, a conversion which you have allready talked about

So therefore wouldnt be able to fix it, or even fit it, and also think your faster than supra's and also impreza's

at shows?? what you gonna do at shows, cos imo a show is a show not a track day, so u can only act a cock in it most of the time, also, if uve not thought about insuring it, how you gonna get it to these "shows"?? let alone be allowed on a track with it!!

Dont fit it in a corsa if you want it to handle well then.
