Im turning my corsa into a 2L project. Its a 1L 12v at the moment but im hoping to put either an 2.0 16v or a 2.0 turbo engine in it.
I know i will have to change the brakes, suspension etc.
But has anyone else got any tips or advice for me.
Thanks
Richard

isnt it a lot more work starting with the 12v?
may be cheaper to just buy one already done. how old are you?

you will need obviously the engine, box, loom and ecu. if it's a long term project you could have the engine rebuilt.
You will need the conversion kit. You can get the whole kit from a place like lmf which youll need:
Wheel hubs
Driveshafts
Engine mounts and gearbox spacer
Anti roll bar spacers if you keep it
Powercap to replace the sfi box
Or someone on mig web, can supply the mounts and gearbox spacer for cheaper price, and also a top hat to use instead of the powercap.
You'll need 2.0 inner and outer cv joints from your local motorfactors too.
