mines a redtop n it didnt come with one, but maybe the ones after 1992 reg.
Some MOT peeps test on engine - so if its before 1992 - cat not needed, if they go on year of car then ur motor will fail if it has redtop pre 1992 with no cat - depends on who u take it to m8

a corsa gsi radiator will fit yes

all you do with the gear linkage is bassically shave the lip of the side or the rear engine mount that mounts to the gear box

for the fuel pump you just use any corsa mpi 1 as mentioned above

the pvd kit is a waste of time and comes with only 1 mount the drivers side thats all that need to be changed,yes you just shave the edge off the original corsa rear engine mount

The cossvaux kit is the same as the PVD one IIRC, made by M-Tech.

Im told you can get Courtenay shafts which will use the standard hubs/bearings which saves a lot of hassle.

They are the same kits...I wouldnt bother with the powercrap also as you have to chop the bulkhead, use an adaptor plate and the ecotec pipe. also youll need a header tank with 2 inlets.

no you use the corsa one

what do u do with the clutch? do u need a different cable?
use what ever clutch comes with engine and use corsa cable

1.4 16v and above

does the 2 litre manifold match up to the corsa cat?
dont need a CAT with a 2lt 16v

does the ecu go where the old engines ecu fit?
yes with alittle modding of panels

I've got the ecotec pipe on my car and was told that this saps alot of power, is this true?? Also I have a piperx induction kit aswell and was also told that it loses power because of this, so the guy at MMV says anyway.
