basically a friend of mine has two c20xe engines for sale one is a 93 with a dizzy cap and and one is a later model with out. which would be the best to get to fit in my 02 corsa c?

need more info on engines do you intend on useing a catalyc converter

Later. IMO less to go wrong with coil pack and more reliable IMO.
Look better
And as newer engine it has a better chance of being in better condition

 

[jamie23]

yes i do intend on using a cat. the 93 i think is out of a cav 4x4 which i imagine has the cos cast head. the other i don't have a great deal of info im going to ring him tomorrow to find out more.

thanks for the reply. the later engine needs head gasket sorting which is pretty simple and to say it was on the rolling road at santa pod in this state and still pulled 158bhp isn't bad at all

gm heads are common for going porus so somthing to consider

 

[jamie23]

cheers pal appreciate it i'm pretty new to all this i know basic mechanical stuff but i've always wanted to do a conversion so i can learn instead of just going out and buying one as i think it takes the fun out of it all imo

 

[craig55]

most ones you see for sale are thrown together cheap as possible and the chavy bullshit write ups

i have noticed this. pretty much why i want to do the conversion myself at least then i no its done right as i don't want to rush it and then get things all wrong
