When we z20let'd my mates astra, he fitted an aircon deleter pulley kit and also chose not to run abs, if your using the mk4 dials? the speedo didnt work and something else (i cant remember off the top of my head) so he had to replug in the abs computer that sits inder the brake m/c thing just to get around the problem.
I know you can get around getting rid of the air-con a different way but heres the aircon deleter, gen gm product aswell iirc.
Gets rid of that condensor that weighs approximately double the weight of the moon lol

4x4 yes have you seen the 4x4 sport turbo i

When I put the Z16 in my nova I took the pas pump off, cut the belt down to an ish length, went to my local 'back street' motor factors and got a couple of belts around the same length, tried and fitted the one I wanted and took the other back.

dont want to give too much away and tell people how easy this is until its running and sorted, but a mix of old vauxhall parts make it very easy, it never ceases to amaze me how so many old & new parts fit so well together, it has to be my fav thing about vauxhalls, who would have thought the old 1980's redtop engine would power the chevrolet btcc car to win 30 yrs later, and a crankshaft from an old 80's 2ltr 8v would be in the great astra vxr of 2011.
so why not put a 2011 engine with a 1980's crank into a 1992 nova with a 1995 cavalier 4x4 system (maybe) with a 2002 astra coupe wiring harness and ecu. gotta love the vauxhall scene dont you ?
right im off out to play with a harness, wish me luck

Saw your pic on Facebook of it the other way round, seems the best solution and you could maybe use an angled packing plate in the flange to bring the turbo back towards the block?

Great project. Some tasty parts being used to a high standard. Keep it up :)

which sits the compressor housing very close to where the engine numbers are, it would allow plenty room for the intake side of things, exhaust looks like it might work.

It may allow me to have the outlet of the turbo straight onto the intercooler and have the in/out of the intercooler on the same side of the intercooler like one of these

that would keep the charge pipes short but wouldnt allow for a very big radiator if it allows for one at all
