1- Yes they are the same engine. Well kind of, c20let block is different and has stronger internals obviously.
2- Not sure about the Z20, I haven't seen one in a Corsa B yet.
3- Older Vauxhall engines are stronger imo.
4- C20let is good for 350bhp iirc then you need to upgrade stuff

You would need a t34 a chip set with injectors to match it, ajustable fpr and xe cams and you can run 350, your probably getting close'ish to the limit and people normaly change the rods and pistons past 350 tho but ib heard of people running close to 400 on std rods and pistons. so gas on top of the 350 is risking it, maybe 25 shot, but 350 is perfect for fast raod car imo

not really wanting a fast road car got a focus st for that really just a track/sprint car but also read legal nut wanting to trailer it.
would it make a diff if it was a progressive setup wither it was 25shot or 50/75 shots

I wouldn't bother with nos tbh, a 350 corsa will be very fast anyway

My engine came from a Corsa B, it had 291bhp, when he took me for a spin I thought it was stupidly fast but thats because I've only had c20xe's lol
You can get an engine from ebay, migweb, corsa sport, png or pistonheads for full car etc
