Newbie from Western australia with some cool plans....

Hi new to the forum's but not new to opel/vuaxhall/holdens lol

First Vauxhall was a 1985 astra gte mk2 (1.8 8 valve) just before they went to 2.0 litre...

2nd was a Astra gsi mk3.
3rd Was a Corsa B with a c20 let turbo conversion (done by courtney sport)
4th was a Corsa B with a 3.0 V6 (I believe this is still doing the rounds and is on youtube...

Miss my olde c20 let (1996 model in royal purple) this was in the uk though and I now live in Oz!!

At the moment I still own a modded Evo gsr 6 (My mate is in the process of buying it)
A 1994 Peugeot 205 gti and a 2009 Peugeot 207 gti turbo with a few mods.

Evo is going to make way for a project just not sure what yet...

I am toying with the idea of a Corsa/barina B c20 let, or a corsa c z20 let....

Just depends on how easy conversion is going to be.... Maybe just have to go the route of c20xe lump in a corsa B

Will get a Corsa/barina Gsi to start with though....

Anyway go easy on me as I am new to the forum lol and may ask some daft questions on conversions....

Welcome to the site mate! Nice list of previous cars too ;)

Welcome to OA champ.

A few people currently doing conversion, and some done previously.

Cheers my old corsa b (c20let) did a 11.2 second pass at york race way was pretty quick and I wanna ideally repeat that power if I can....

I was thinking baout just buying the new corsa vxr later in the year (when it arrives) just dont like the idea of its 1.6 turbo as opposed to a 2.0 turbo....

Got a couple of mates in t he uk who say they can realistically only get them to around 240bhp and thats pushing it :(

[ChrisMaz]

Welcome along mate.

Nice to see a W.A member with some interesting plans!

[Scoobykilla]

Yeah ideally would buy a c20let corsa in wa but doubt thats gonna happen :(

So will have to try and do the conversion myself...

Good thinking.

[Scoobykilla]

Already on it lol

Need to get an engine then the car....

Then start my homework on how to do it....

[Scoobykilla]

Was looking at z20lets on ebay but I believe they need a lot of differant wiring to get them going.... Unless of course I go corsa c...

[ChrisMaz]

Shouldn't be too much wiring if its running a custom ECU?

[Scoobykilla]

Oh ok not sure....
