Corsa A and the Nova are identical apart from Badging. As for the rest of your questions, I dont think anyone in here ever fitted a Turbo engine in a Nova, used CL or Power steering.

That sort of thing is unheard of in here.

Try the search function at the top right of the screen as well, it'll help people not rip the piss out of you.

Also, fill in your location in your Profile.

Cost wise,What you willing to spend, £500 good luck you know what i mean..!!

set out what you have got planned and what you think it you can allow to spend.

Power steering may not end out a must have.

is there any difference between that and a 93 corsa/nova.
Assuming you mean K reg Corsa A/Nova, and not a Corsa B, then same thing, like for like.


also is it hard to convert it to a 2.0 turbo cost wise
Biggest cost there will be sourcing the engine tbh.


and can the 1.0 loom work with the 2 litre
Car loom, yes; engine loom, no.


can these corsas be converted to power steering and central locking
Yes on both counts. Easiest is electric PAS from a Corsa, although have a look at Craig Green's project thread for information about using a hydraulic system. Central locking is dead easy, you can pick up aftermarket kits for as little as £10-20, or get hold of original nova equipment from a higher spec model (tbh, its probably easier to buy a new aftermarket kit).

Razorjack cheers good info there
"Assuming you mean K reg Corsa A/Nova, and not a Corsa B, then same thing, like for like" what i meant here was the difference in mark 1 and 2 ,
When did the mark 2 come in and is there any major difference in looks.
Cheers
