Corsa Gsi lump into a Nova

[Powelly5624]

So how do we go about fitting on of these then? Is it a straight swap or is it pretty much the same process as fitting a red top lump?

Red top lump on its way, picked up a SR Mk2 and thinking of dropping in a Corsa Gsi lump.

Any help is appricated

Straight swap. (ish) mate the Corsa manifold to the nova (GTE) down pipe, get the corsa top rad hose and throttle linkage and thats it.

Thanks for the info,

Do i use the standard Nova Engine & Gearbox mounts then?

Also what about the driveshafts?

[Will F]

Use the F15 from the corsa, or F13 from Nova GTE/Gsi. the driveshafts will fit from a nova.
Mounts are all Nova items.

Can you use a Corsa 4.2.1 manifold on it?

[j1400]

You use the cast section of the corsa manifold and connect it to a GSi/GTE 2-1 downpipe then it just attaches to the nova system.

Also it's worth swapping the poly V pulleys for the single V to stop and chaffage on the chassis leg.

obviously you'l be wiring in the ECU and Loom,

Plus changing the Fuel tank and fuel lines. Carbed ones run at 7psi or something, injection tanks run at 45psi i think

might be the other way round tho...
