Yeah think it's 2 or 3 horsies more :lol:

Also you don't get aftermarket ecu's for these without going standalone and that costs mucho ££££

From what i've read it seems that way and without bigger brakes and other stuff i think the 2.0 is abit much for daily use in the corsa

The redtop isn't that bad as a daily but its just the price of it ain't cheap tbh but for the 1.6 conversion i would proberly use a tigra one as u can use stuff u want and sell what u dont

if you going for a redtop you need bigger driveshafts also seam weld the engine bay and engine mount brackets as they slightly different 1.6 goes straight in as i did this on my previous one
