Anyone no the exact location of the engine number on a C20XE?
Also do v6 calipers off a vectra or somethink similar fit easily onto a corsa. i no the discs have to be drilled to 4 stud. HELP MUCH APPRECIATED.
turbo brakes and vectra brakes will bolt straight on the mounting holes.
You need to redrill the discs to 4 stud (4x100 pcd) and to get spiggot rings, like I did:
The only thing, as said, is to check that the rims won't hit the caliper. On my corsa, the calipers are really close to the wheels (they are turbo brakes - 284mm discs) with 15" Tigra wheels
lmao
I don't know about the prices in the UK for the V6 discs, but here Opel sells 2x284 discs for 153 euros (106p)....a lot more than better stuff (2 Brembo discs are 75p) :doh:
turbo calipers have smaller pistons (54mm) vs the v6's 57mm pistons which means the turbo calipers provide a better feel on the corsas small mastercylinder
Although I have no experience of urbo Callipers, I must agree with Aragorn! The feel on V6 brakes with a Corsa is poor, the first half of the pedal does nothing! The extreme stoppig would be better but the pedal travel is bad!

Wish people would stop calling them Turbo Calipers and V6 Calipers. Its total rubbish. Next you'll be telling me I haven't got Turbo calipers on my Turbo.......
284's and 288's, plain and simple.

I think he means that on Calibra turbo after a certain date (iirc 95 or 96) there have been 288mm discs and calipers (usually called "v6 ones", with 57mm pot), while before they only were 284mm ones, which everybody calls "turbo ones" (54mm pot).
I learnt this from the forum before searching for my calipers
