decided on the 2 litre 8v as insurance isnt as bad.

going to add parts before i stick it in the car so.....

where the hell can i find parts for the 20seh engine! only things i can find so far is a lightened flywheel, echaust manifold and of course induction kits.
but that at most is gna give me say 10/11 bhp with an exhaust system?

help?

why don`t you spend the extra money on insuring a 2ltr 16v, instead of buying modifications to make it as fast as 2ltr 16v. just an idea..

well to start with it'l be cheaper if you get me.
and as i need an engine quickly as my current one is dead 0 the 8v is the only choice.

I have the 20seh engine in my corsa,

it has kent fast road cams and a 4-1 manifold,

will also have a superchipped ecu at some point,

I would get the head ported and polished before it goes in aswell.

i meant more than one person doing it

haha.

i think theyre just flushed and tested.

a mate who got a 16v got a new cambelt and stuff on his.
ring to find out i guess.

not sure - i reckon theyd be pretty expensive rebuilt.

no ones after the 8v's, people are getting redtops (yeh a lot faster when done up) but te 8v is pretty sturdy - apart from mine

oh and actually to anyone who remembers the thread where i didnt know what was up, somehow on a 20/30 mile drive in dales got a bad oil leak and when putting me foot down all my oil buggered off so when i got to higer revs - no oil = knackerd engine!

also - for later in life - can astra mk2 (20seh) shafts and mounts be used to plonk in a redtop? i think it can but want to make sure before i start a second savings thing - otherwise im doing it all to the 8v.

I think they are pretty straight forward to fit...Might be doing this to mines, was really impressed by one that used to kick about locally to me. Used to shag c20xe corsas all day.

at last someone else supports my point - corsa's (no offence intecnded) are slow compared to the nova with the 8v in.
i managed to beat a celica too - not sure what model though.
The power's there as soon as you want it - no build up or lag, torque is amazing. Mid range needs tinkering with but the rest is quality!

i'll start a project thread when i put the new engine in, will be within 5 weeks hopefully.

haha what a point

i'd love a bit of turbo - maybe after the cam and flywheel and all that - would be mental

what power output do you think you could get from a turbo 8v??? 210???

i dont know much about turbos.
guess its all to do with the compression and stuff.
who'd care - got a turbo! but i dont have like a grand for a turbp - throttle boddies on the cheap probs... only thing i could say...8v weighs less? lol
what nova you got lee_wee?
