Went to strip the Corsa sunday but it wouldnt even start on a jump so I gave up as I was very hungover lol. Need to get back in gear and get the engine out of the Corsa.

Ahhh right sure you'll get there tho bud [emoji4] I'm pretty confident with doing the conversion between myself and few mates and the help of the forum, only thing that confuses me is the wiring and the ecu and stuff so how do you go about sorting all that out buddy??

A guy called Jules on a Saab forum will sort out immobiliser and mapping etc on ECU and there are a few people who make loom adapters. I had the ECU remapped to stage 2, immobiliser removed, boost limit removed so that I dont need to join a speed signal to ECU (lack of abs) and some soldering done on the actual ECU so that I can use a APC valve (boost controller) from the newer b205 engines all for 75pound inc. return postage :D

Haha I wish mate it's where I work, it's a bodyshop which is pretty handy when I want stuff painted because I just do it myself haha [emoji4] plus any amount of materials I need paints fillers polish anything, does have some perk being a painter [emoji57]
