the z20let/h is a newer engine so finding a low mileage one will be easier, as for fitting both straight forward allmost factory fit these days, plenty of mounts avalible. not that many b's with the z20let/h engines in about.

If you have the money i would go for the z20 also they seem to be really good engines and lots of tuning goodies and maps about for them.

Don't think you will find the z20let/leh into a corsa b as straight forward as made out to be c20let is much much easier

the z20leh is about 40bhp more standard than the z20let, differant internals and oil squirters under the pistons. theres also the ler cant remember which it is but either the leh or ler has improved cooling over the other. as for fitting its simple as these days, blocks are the same as the x20xev so mount kits of the shelf. as for the gear box if you use the f23 found on most z20lets it gets more tricky but can be done. not sure if the m32 box would fit? clutch and flywheel can be swaped and the any box thats used on c20lets will fit and make it simpler.

wise man! i was going to turbo the z22se corsa c only space is limited for the turbo and i dont want to cut the bulk head to make room. this range of engines is the way to go for really big powers, saab boys and in usa their getting over 1000bhp from them! dont know if that would be wise in a front wheel drive though??????? be fun trying!!

they fit corsa's well. but for a big turbo you would need to cut the bulk head, or look at side mounting the turbo as on renualt 5gt turbo's. gets pricey for custom manifold then though. look forward to seeing what you end up building!
