c20xe for a c20let

[james_19]

i just bought a c20let, how much would i be looking at for someone to fit it to a xe'd nova?? wiring etc.???

[Sloth]

mate you can do it yourself very easily. wirings the same as the xe, its the boost pipes and i/c thats the fun bit. take ya a week tops.

[james_19]

out of curiosity how much for someone to do it??

[james_19]

i just dont have the understanding to do it myself. yeh i cud bang an engine in myself but thats about it mate. wudnt have a clue where to go next

[Sloth]

my mate paid £700 to swap a xe for a let in a corsa b, and imho was ripped off. just look at the cars on here and youll see what goes where mate, it isnt hard.

[james_19]

thats not bad that like. just paid 800 for a rebuilt c20let and then plus say 700 for fitting. altogether cost me 1500?? about right??

[Sloth]

aye, but like i say its far easier to d.i.y mate, just search for it....

[james_19]

i think i will get it done by someone who knows then atleast i know its all good and tidy. i do understand where your coming from as that what cost the most these days the labour.
well am guna by my self a unfinished xe'd nova or just a strengthened shell over the winter so will dig out my funds and get myself another turbo redtop and have a go myself with the good old mates.

[Sloth]

good man, where are you btw?

[james_19]

[Sloth]

[Paul]

[james_19]

id charge £250.

that sarcastic or a genuine answer

[Lee H]

Probably genuine, thats all i'd charge too as only a weekends work.

[james_19]

i really didnt think it was that cheap mate. how tidy would your job be on it??

That my conversion.

[Paul]

genuine.

THe job would only be as tidy as the bits youd give me.

For example if you gave me pipework and and engine bay covered in grime oil and dirt, you would get back an engine bay covered in grime oil and dirt.

If the loom looked as though edward scissorhands had picked it up, then id tidy it up quickly, but I wouldnt spend ages re-covering the whole thing.

Dont mind tidying up aftermyself, if i get oil n handprints on the wing tops then you wouldnt get it back with handprints all over it.

There is only one way of putting a turbo engine into a Nova, and I'd do it as neatly as I could with the bits that you'd supply.

Im sure Lee H will give near enough exactly the same answer.

[james_19]

just being looking at it mate. love it. one hell of a smart job. very tidy looking motor
