you can buy a guide from ebay or halfords, you have to build them right though so you'll have to have a good budget to spend.

dont buy no ebay guide mate.

Sign up to some vaux forums, sure they have all the info you need.

Never done one personally, but from friends etc gather its not difficult at all.

why bother with a red top when you can do a Z20LET conversion 200bhp straight off with lots of tuning capabilitys

LET engines go for £1k a xe goes for around £300.

z20let is much harder to install than a 20xe, a c20let is the turbo to go for but they can be a nightmare

Yeah but if your going to do something best do it properly hey :y:

Isnt the red top engine a C20LET anyway?

[LeeM]

xe is most comonly called a red top and is the 2.0 16v, although a let is essentially the same engine with a turbo

theres the c20LET and c20xe.

with the right knowledge and equipment more than likely.

Really dont see why people ask these sort of questions... Why not go to a corsa or nova site and ask them. Your find a lot more members would had done that sort of thing.

Don't mean to be rude, just think its a daft thing to ask tbh
