.... to do an engine conversion on a 1999 astra?
am thinking of selling my 1.2 8v and since i found a cheap astra 17td with 35k miles which for now is good (to use during the week only) ... maybe in future a LET would be alot better

May be chatting bollocks, but I wouldnt be supprised if fuel pumps, lines or the whole system is different.

They run on a different pressure, they dont have ignitions etc

I would of thought that you would just have to change the fuel tank and lines.

that would be about it.

I have heard this is a difficult conversion as you need to do some mega rewiring of the ecu
