just wondered if any peoples had any performance figures/torgues figures etc on this engine

Also does anyone no what would be needed to fit this enngine into a originally carb engined nova (new petrol tank etc) and is the conversion hard?

cheers

as you seem to know everything else.............

Oddball - do you know how easy it would be to fit one into a nova that has a 1.2 carbd engine in at the mo? (if not it doesnt matter, i will find out from someone else)

what about all the engine management stuff as my engine hasnt got any at the mo. Do all the electrics just bolt on to the engine somewhere or do they go inside the car somewhere?? (i apoligise if its a bit of a stupid question but i really dont have a clue as ive never dun an engine conversion before)

yeh right ok then.........

........ it will probably have a cat on the exhaust wont it? which i wont have to keep on because my car is an F reg and i just wondered how much power these CATS take out of the engine?

Also the speedo might be a problem. 97> Corsa's have an electric speedo I think. Nova speedo clocks are cable driven.

And the Corsa ECU needs a speed input signal from the speedo. Nova speedo clock also don't have this AFAIK.

ah................well........................................i think i might leave that thenlmao lmao lmao lmao

does anyone have any other (less expensive!!) ideas on how to get round this or is it not possible??

by the way, u dont need to mod the anything for the alternator it clears easily. u need to fit a fuel tank from a 1.2i, or a gte/gsi tank with pump. uprate ur fuel lines. u would need a full gte exhaust system to fit onto the 16v manifold.
the imobiliser may give u problems on the engine!!

thats about it

o yea, and u need an f13/f15 gearbox

does anyone know how i cud get around these problems

1. the speedo not working
2. The immobiliser (if its gonna give me probs)

Also is the ECU gonna be a good boy and behave itself or is that going to give me trouble as well?

anyone?.........................................

..................cos if its gona be too difficult then i wont bother and i wil just get a 1.4 8v engine from another nova instead

speedo not working? why would it not work? it runs off the same gearbox connection?

and u can get the imobiliser circuit taken out. i could get you a number if u like for a qoute!!

the ecu shud b fine, dont give any probs as far as i know. iv got the corsa gsi engine in my nova and iv not had any probs (apart from the idle valve but iv fixed that now :)
