    Chip on vauxsport is putting a B204 in to replace his lunched let.... hes got a cracked ecu etc to play with. Might be worth having a peek at what hes doing (I know its in the back but most of the stuff should be applicable)

    R has a different turbo to the E and L iirc.

    They're also rare as the proverbial, pretty sure they only featured in cars for one or two years. I, E and L are way more common.

    DI cassette FTL btw.

    Hhhmmm, odd. Maybe the full pressure turbo lump is different where the water pump is, See Niges, which is low pressure turbo..

    The mk4 round here had the leg altered, but IIRC this was for power steering.

    Kinda cool, but its like everything, its been done.

    BANG FOR BUCK its ace though.

    if you have t5suite, you can turn the immobilizer off. mike, if i was you, i'd buy a full donor. you ideally want a post 93 900, as the engines sump is shallower. there is 2 corsas that have the saab engine, one is a b, the other a c. the b had a decent beice of chassis leg trimmed. i did have pics but they have gone awol. it does bolt to a f20 IF you get a post 93 motor. id aim for a 94 or 95 model year, and buy the full car. makes life easy, and astra mk3 nerds will buy the hubs and shafts and arb and beam. if i was you, id look on uksaabs, and download t5suite. then all you do is make or buy a cable, and solder an 8 pin d/l connector to the ecu board. you power it up on the bench and t5 suite takes the eprom maps, and allows you to upload a map of your choice. for example, if you want stage 3, no matter what engine you start with, you need a 3 bar map, a freeflow 3 inch exhaust and a free flow air filter. this gives 330bhp, and is already included into the t5suite.
