Re: Corsigra Build
Well it may be time to take the head off hopefully there's not to much damage
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Re: Corsigra Build
It depends what your after power wise,
Since your already wired and set up for it an x18xe will bolt in to the x14xe mounts and will see 120hp, 130-140 with a decent set of mods
Or go for a redtop and see 150 standard, I'd do 1.8 just to be different from the rest of the big engine corsa's
1.8 will just bolt in aswell but the 2.0 is abit of work to fit

Re: Corsigra Build
The loom in the car will do, just need the ecu and chip for the key

Re: Corsigra Build
90's vectra b or very early astra coupe should have one
Just make sure it's cable throttle and it's probably a x18xe

Re: Corsigra Build
I'm 99% sure there are only Internal differences between the xe and xe1 so it should fit
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway
