z20let corsa c conversion

[1800sri54]

Hi there i'm currently getting all the parts for a z20let conversion for my 54 plate corsa 1.8 sri.

i've had the car since 6 mths old.about a year ago i wanted to start modifing it,so i firstly got an exhaust and filter then remapped and got a healthy 139.5bhp and 137 lb/ft torque.

Which was nice.so then i changed the springs,and got a h&r front roll bar and at the same time a rear whiteline roll bar kit and quickshift.all excellent mods!.

i ran this for 6 mths and as you do got used to the power and wanted more so i gathered some cash and went looking for a z20let with box,ecu,transponder and chip.

Which i found on ebay 9 mths ago from a well known custom shop.it had been taken out of an 02 astra gsi turbo with 40k.nice.

so now i'm looking at doing the conversion but firstly this week or next i'm going to be ordering a 314mm vectra c conversion to fit under the std 16" alloys,has been done but still to find out how,i think i can get a pair of spiggot rings from chris astley to get the discs located and my friend can redrill to discs to suit but i don't know if the caliper bolts line up any info would be ace!.

Anyway heres the pics of engine and other parts so you know i'm not wasting anyones time.

[vauxhallparts]

quick question. does the f23 box bolt straight into corsa c or do you need to get other parts also what shafts hubs ect are needed

[1800sri54]

Many thanks for sorting the pics out Ginge!

As for the f23 fitting into the corsa i've been told that the 1.7 cdti 05 and on mounts will fit as the corsa 1.7 cdti had a f23 fitted, and the linkage off one.

Driveshafts i don't know of any but the ones mathijssen technics sell?

Anyone?

hubs from m-tech also.

Hope that helps you.

thats interesting about the gearbox mount, it seems to be a bit of a secret still which mounts to use. good work though

Yeh tell me about it.

i've got lots of questions that i need help with some very technical caliper fitments and plugs/sensor info etc.

i'm sure people with answer if they know.

I have faith.

looking good mate

[1800sri54]

Does any know how i can fit these to my corsa c 1.8 sri

http://www.lmfvauxhall.co.uk/store/p...at=1438&page=1

The disc centre diameter is 70mm

If i use spiggot rings from Chris astley they would then fit the hub of my corsa(60mm diameter)

My friend can redrill it for me though it may help if anyones got a template for it?

I just need to know if the caliper bolt holes will line up or will i need to make a steel bracket to bolt them in place?

I spoke to LMF and they say it won't fit but its already been done to this one pic and fit under the std 16" rims.

[Dave Broomfield]

nice project

who made the pulley (guess your not using PAS?)

I think you will find thats to get rid of the air con it has electric pas

[rudd86]

^^ that makes sence now ha

[J Sabo]

oh, ok. im looking to dumping my PAS on my C20LET so i will need a pulley like that

...or a shorter belt

[1800sri54]

Yeh it replaces the air con as i thought it would be lighter and get better power.

[J Sabo]

where do you get it from mate? looking for one to bin my PAS pulley on C20LET

[1800sri54]

i got it of ebay its from calibre coachcraft(i think thats the name)its who i also got the engine off.

[1800sri54]

Thanks i've seen this before i think he said a guy called chris reay did the conversion i think he's the one who's put the brakes on that corsa aswell,would love to have a chat with that guy as from what i've heard he's a master with vauxhall conversions.

[NotNormal]

Although no with the carriersso they did them for £259inc discs and pads as the carriers are £65 so they say from vauxhall(i haven't phoned and confirmed that)As i told them lmf's price of £315 so they would match it.



mintex pads to fit.

And 314mm 5 stud discs to suit,Sorry no pics as i've all ready sent them of for redrilling and drilling,i've bought some o.e rear discs to be drilled at the same time these will be used as the template for redrilling to 4 stud on the 314mm front dics.

They should look ace under my std 16" sri alloys
