Not even remotely worth a full system. You may see a 1/4hp increase and about 1/2 l/b ft torque. Just spend you notes on keeping it well maintained, not blowing it up.

got a 2.0 ltr engine already from a cav but dont want all the hassle of it becoming unreliable
I know Tom, has had loads of probs coz his conversion has been really unreliable!
He sed dont bother coz the corsa wasnt reallly designed to go like shit off a stick and he sed he has had loads of handeling probs!

The corsa is a very sturdy machine, much more so than the Novas. It can swallow a 20xe with ease and not have to strengthen it at all. Just get a decent suspension setup for £200 and you will have a very nice car. Dont forget some astra GTE brakes too
