engine / gearbox

[redders]

;)
does anyone know if i can put a 16volt corsa engine and gearbox into a gte nova with out too much arsing about?
I have been told that standard form these are about 20 - 25 BHP up on the 8volt nova 1600 block.

this true?
any advice or links you can suggest.

www.valvers.com has a guide to fitting one.

maybe he meant 16volt (lol) - I mean on the back of some corsas it has 12v :p - plug n play car - and with the bee sting ariel just shove it onto a dodgem circuit at nite and have a "fair ground person" hang off the back of it to slow ya down! (dont want to say gypo - so un pc!) - ?1 a ride for 30 seconds!

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal labotamy!

if you have a GTE its easy, same fuel pipes, connections, exhaust.

use the 16v exhaust manifold, but use the nova downpipe/system/backbox.

u will need the 16v throttle cable

only 5-6 wires to connect up, cant really go wrong on them.

there is a fuel tank vent unit, that is supposed to connect to a carbon canister on the corsa, block this off or engine will suck air and run lean!!

make sue u get the 2 thin black wires the right way around for ignition, or ECU will reset each time u stop the car and run boloxy!!

and another thing, there certainly no 20-25bhp more than the 8v version, but u will certainly notice a difference in speed ;)

They also have a great tuning potential
