y17dt into a nova?

[bazil]

Does it fit?

I have a derv chassis leg so thats no issue,

So whats needed to fit one?

[mowgli]

god knows...

didn't hobbit fit an older Isuzu 1.7td into a mk4 astra a while back???

I'd imagine the later electronics will be the bigger issue

[bazil]

Think I read somewhere that in a nova I need to use 1.5 td inlet but not to sure why ,
Basically im wondering if its worth doing or best selling the surplus parts I have

[mowgli]

the n/a inlet is apparently better.

to fit the cav 1.7td, you need the front end of the engine from the 1.5td

Dont have the cav engine, Its a combo dti one I have,

[Spudly]

Dti lumps are poo, bin it and get an izuzu one, thats what lives in my combo

The Y17DT is a 16v Isuzu lump - fitted to early Corsa C/Combo/Astra G

Y17DTL is the same, but lower output.

As I am finding, the EDU on the fuel pump is the biggest issue with these!!

[bazil]

Mine had the oil pump pulley failure so fixed that a few years back, edu has been fine but heard of the issues

[kent14sr]

Just bought a non running Corsa with a Y17DT in it. Previous owner spend serious amounts with a so called diesel specialist, who spent hours without success on why it doesn't start.

EDU is the issue. Sadly not the usual dry joints, but seems component failure within - so a new one is on the way!
