[ant.lane]

has any1 or no any1 who has put a c20xe with dry sump in to a corsa b cause i hear u might have to cut some of the chassis away where the pump wheel is ,is this right,

[BRoadGhost]

I would imagine so, even with competition mounts.

yes you have to cut out a recess on the drivers chassis leg near to the front cross member your best off getting it in ther and seeing exactly were you need to cut

[ant.lane]

[ant.lane]

ok thanks did u cut and have to weld or jus cut

[autoworksnovasport]

cut out what you need to and then plate it back in with minimum 1.7mm steel (3mm is thickest ive used)

you wouldent have a picture of any done is there any chance of cutting it with out getting engine in the bay [guessing]:confused:

[autoworksnovasport]

no pictures sorry mate i suppose you could cut out a bit more than you need to just to be sure

[Jonlem]

Whatever you do make sure you box the area back in correctly as its a major structural area of the car.

[ant.lane]

ok mate thanks

[Paul]

I assume everyone who said that it needs cutting out has never actually done it before then?

[autoworksnovasport]

whys that paul??

[Jonlem]

I'll assume as the Corsa bay it that much wider you don't need to cut into the chassis leg.

[Paul]

Because it clears by a country mile.

[autoworksnovasport]

in a nova or corsa???

[Gareth_C]

in a nova or corsa???

Nova's doing clear not the pace kit anyway. The pulley wheel for the oil pump sits bang in the middle of the chassis leg I did some pics of what I had to do on mine, there in the project thread somewhere.

[autoworksnovasport]

yes this what i was describing with nova chassis leg

but just read the title and realised this is in a corsa :( and ive never done one in a corsa so can not comment
