hey


is it poosible to run my 1.4 sport gearbox with a redtop or redtop turbo engine and would this mean i can use my orignal shafts?

thanks

yh it can be done but to run a xe on a small block gearbox you have to change the flywheel as a xe is a big block engine, i personally wouldnt bother because it wont last 5 minutes if you drive a xe like your suppose to i would go down the f16,f18,f20 route on a xe or a f20, f28 on a turbo, but prefrably a f28 on a turbo as thats gearbox was designed for that engine and can handle the power, this really isnt the forum to be asking questions like that as there are not many people on here who know about it, migweb is your best bet really.

on the driveshafts side of things you could use the proper conversion shafts which are ready available on migweb or ebay with conversion hubs or do as i am and use a calibra/cavalier drivers side equal length shaft and a short shaft from a cavalier/vectra/calibra and move the circlips in 5mm either side and big block hubs

all these questions can be answered if you use the search bar on google or migweb, migweb has an answer to nearly every vauxhall related thing you can think of

oik cheers m8, do you have a link to the shafts buddy?

conversion hubs

but to be quite honest you only need to buy the hubs as calibra/cavalier shafts are cheap enough

there are some on this list on migweb

cheers, would it be cheaper to buy a full kit from one or the other of them , rather than buy the hubs and shafts seperatly.


also how do i check wich body shel type i have?
cherrs

depends how much money you wanna spend

what engine is in your car and does it have powersteering, and by that i mean hydralic not electronic powersteering

hmm, well dont really mind , um but obvs it will be cheaper buying a kit with the shafts in and hubs, over buying seperate yeah?

um it has a 1.4 16v sport, not to sure on the powersteering

its easier for me to tell you which body type it is if i can see a picture of the drivers side front engine mount, but my guess would be a body type 2, have a look at my build thread on here or migweb and see if yours is the same as mine
