i understand the calibra 2.0 is the way to go but my best mate just bougth a £13k VXR astra te 2.0 turb and just thinkign how much fun a corse b would be with one of them in it? reckon that woudl be a bitch to do?

i understand the calibra 2.0 is the way to go

that depends who your asking, the redtops are getting very old now, most have them have been rebuilt a dozen times.

when i do my conversion i'll be going for the x20xev

fitting a z20leh (vxr engine) isnt a problem, its the wiring thats the difficult thing as its all CanBus wiring, you will need to go aftermarket management to run it, and its fly by wire throttle so you will need to run a x20xev throttle body..

so its a possibility got some cash comeing in soon so decideing if to get a new bike or just go silly on the car i got a scrappy with a red vxr with the rear end ripped off (its now only 2 wheeled) so might have a chat with the owner see what he says

good luck with that one mate , a guy on mig has just done the same conversion on a corsa c and ploughed 10k into it and sold it on as an unfinished project the wiring is a nightmare so is the driveshafts as the vxr runs 27 spline shafts nothing else does so that means driveshafts having to be made from scratch . you are going to need to have seriously deep pockets to do that conversion , and all for the same power output as a half decant let

completly agree better off going c20let as its cheaper than a z20leh. and you can get parts alot cheaper and easier.

yea i been looking on ebay there a z20leh going on there for 1k but i did have a trawl on the web n yea it seems like a lot of effort was just realy a mad moment idea tbh but one day...............
