Corsa-B.uk - Vauxhall, Opel and Holden Corsa B Owners Club

this is a completely random question every1 - just thought id ask it 2 see

basically i know theres tons of vauxhall engines that fit into corsas from omegas vectras cavs and callibres etc but ive never heard of another make engine being used. for example a c20let will fit in but has a limit on its realistic power output. if that would fit couldn't you just get an imprezza engine and drop that in as i know they are good for 500 horses?

i mean, how hard can it be? :p

any thoughts any1?

i was actually hoping to do that if i have enough spare money when im finished with my corsa :L dont see whats stopping me tbh (: just needs upgrading xD

In the words of TopGear, dont ever say that!!

hmmm sounds pretty gd

and im sure it wudnt be that hard - just use a big hammer and it will be all gd

check out mig web, there corsa's with evo engines in and sarbe engines in them on there. as long as you know wot you are doin anything is possible. at pvs there wer corsa's with bike engines in. it didnt last long before it went wrong thou

i really would like to see you put an impreza engine in a corsa ,your biggest problem there is going to be the fact that its a boxer engine and the gearbox is low slung at the back and unless you are going to balance the engine on your front bumper or move the front wheels 2 feet back you will never get a drive train that will ever come close to working ,also the physical size of the engine wont fit in the engine bay

put it in the boot :p lol

if u can get a 3.2 vauxhall v6 in there in sure u cud squeeze a 2.0 litre scoob engine in it. and yeh i see your point - so basically any normal inline 4 engine could work quite well if u know what your doing?

and yeh ive seen a fair few cars with bike engines like minis and fiat 500s (old ones). that wud be awesome if you could fit a bike engine 2 a corsa - just imagine the acceleration and noise lol

U can put a hybosa in a corsa

that would be nice to see then drive shaft where the exhaust went, and then run the exhaust out behind the front wheel or something,

Out of the rear quarter

yea but then tho you'l have to make extra space under the car tho to run the drive shaft and the exhaust, where as if you kept it up front with the einge you'd eliminate that problem, but i was thinking about fitting a rover v8, that would fit you'd have to make a larger gearbox tunnel etc but it should fit

Errrr rover!!! Not the k serise

the rover v8 would fit? how the hell would that beast of an engine get in there lol

im sure you could make it fit tbf, JUST, i think all the bellhousing and gearbox would be in the cabin with you like but i have a feeling the length of the engine would just about squeeze in if you put it in through the bottom.
