nova gte engine in corsa c

[gte-87]

hi i am finking about putting nova gte engine running bike carbs in a corsa c can this be done? has any one done it? thanks dan

Depends on the Age of the C.... early ones would be 'easy' but anything other than an Early one would need CAN sorting, and frankly you wont manage that.

easy job!!
the corsac duel fuels were old 8 valve lumps so the mounting would be easy,
use the corsa box clutch setup,
make a throttle cable pedal using a mk4 astra pedal and corsa mismatch again easy job,
dont use any of the corsa c engine loom but keep the ecu section intact till you segregate the crank signal wire then chop the rest away, as the clocks need this signal for the rev counter and to turn the epas on,
iirc (brown with a blue or black trace) tag your crank signal sensor wire into the the crank signal to the ecu this turns all the dash on,
wire your engine loom as a standalone setup like a xe conversion
all the charge system is simple all you will have to do is remove the clocks and black silicone or tape over the inspection lamp,

ive found all this out the hard way

You will have to cut and tap the engine mount on the cambelt side.. Good luck with that lol

Why not just buy a Corsa SRi to start with lol faster, and a lot less hassle.
