Corsa GSi gearbox into a Nova?

[Blackie_No1]

Will it fit? What's needed?

[alan b]

yes it will fit. straight in.

[mowgli]

as long as you have a small block ohc engine, it is fine. (just in case someone with a 1.0 ohv thinks one will fit)

[Blackie_No1]

Cheers, I have the 14NV engine in my Nova

[stevie78]

got one on my e16 works fine use f13cr if you have one thought that was better

[Blackie_No1]

I have been offered a corsa gsi box for cheap money as it needs a seal replaced. What gearbox is normally found on the GSi corsa?

[John]

depends, either f13 or f15.

[BrianBB]

can the f13cr work with a c20xe?

[Stuart]

can the f13cr work with a c20xe?


yes but dont.

[BrianBB]

why's that?

[Stuart]

its a stupid way to do things imho... use the right gearbox for the job

[BrianBB]

it must be a fair bit lighter tho which for my project is key

also i presume will be geared lower which is another bonus?

[Stuart]

so you fit a lard assed 20XE.... :p

The only real bonus to fitting the F13 is using existing drive shafts. There are a few threads about it kicking about.

Personally I dont think its a great move but you go ahead and eat your way through boxes for the sake of some driveshafts and mount lol

Yo Stuart, I sent you an email about the 1.4 tuning guide you list, could you email it to me please?

an f13 will come apart and kill small children on an xe. ive seen it happen ! there feck all lighter too.
