After buying a vectra derv runabout Im now selling the bits off my corsa to fund my new mk1 project.

For sale I have a set of R1 carbs, mains rejetted to 1.9mm and tuned accordingly to run on a C20SEH. Was never rolling roaded so exact power unknown but ran and went extremely well, not far behind my mates redtop mk2 nova and ran a 16.2sec 1/4mile at PVS earlier this year.

Also for sale the Bogg Bros manifold used to fit the carbs to the C20SEH, will also fit the C20NE but WILL NOT fit 1800cc engines due to varying port-height patterns between the two. Paid £125 for this off HayLewis68 off here not long ago. New from Bogg Bros these manifolds are around £200
Looking for £100 posted for this.

Also for sale, hall sensor distributor to run carbs using original nova coil. This distributor was purchased from H&H ignition last year for well over £100 and has only covered a few thousand miles, receipt from H&H will be provided with sale along with loom. £80

STILL for sale my nova's old engine.
Mk1 astra gte 18e
Rolling roaded 2months ago at 119.4bhp with 111.2lb/ft.
Great engine for a nova, unknown mileage as it came in my nova already fitted when I bought it.
It's run 45k faultless miles for me and seems to be a bombproof engine.
Regular oil and filter changes carried out every 10k whilst owned by me.
Comes complete with:-
Full wiring loom inc. ECU with full loom to meet the dizzy setup and coil Standard cast exhaust manifold.
Ported and polished throttle body, only bought two weeks before the nova was stripped at a cost of £125. Rolling road printout shown was without the uprated throttle body fitted.
Very torquey engine, reluctant sale but Im now running a C20SEH on bike carbs.
Only thing required to get this engine running is a distributor as I've used this for my bike carb conversion.

For just the engine and loom with the standard throttle body fitted and no gearbox £180 will take it away.

Ideal upgrade for a nova, no need to go chopping into your chassis leg unlike a 16v...

im interested in the 18e fella what is needed to have this running in my nova apart from the dizzy. Any need for modified hubs, shafts etc

Maka

matt, yes the manifold differs between the XE and the SEH.

tommy, the only other parts you need to run the engine are a set of 22 spline shafts and big block cav inner cv joints. I have all these items and will make a good deal for a job lot if you did want the engine, dizzy, shafts and cv's. PM me with an offer if you like.
