hey guys been a while from ive been on here i was thinking of fitting a 2.0 8v engine to my corsa was wondering do you need to run a bigger radiator in the car then, if anybody has any idea it would be great

nope stock is fine, as long as its not a 1.2 16v or 1.0 12v corsa. i converted my corsa to one these in a day.

Remember it needs to be a non-aircon rad too.

i ran an f16cr. its far easier to get shafts and use a big block box than foook around with an f13. 4 branch, try janspeed, or ebay.

as an aside, the 1.6 sport with a/c has a huge rad that is great with the bigger motors but the top water pipe is tricky

Shafts, 1.6 items are mostly 22spline (If you need some, PM me), Cav mk2 inners and then thats what ya need for a bigblock gearbox.

Well What About The Injection System Do You Need A Different Fuel Pump In The Tank Or Would It Be Just Easier To Put It On Weber Carbs
