Looking to put a nova gsi lump in my corsa as i do not fancy trying to insure a red top and love the reliability and power from a GSI lump.
Any ideas on what problems i may come across? ie. engine mounts? wiring so on..... any help and tips would be greatly appreciated.

Main reason why not a 16v is mainly reliability plus cheaper and easier to get more power from an 8v. and more space in the engine bay to work.

i would say the 16v would of been better mate just spendin a few hundred pound and you already in like the 120bhp mark so hay coz i am running 136.8bhp out of a c16xe and it goes well and warren g was running 150bhp but he had a few more mods
