Does anybody know what wud be the best motor to use 4 my conversion. i am nt going 4 a track car. my application wud be for a strong nd quick every day drive. i was aiming at the c20let, but now i hav an option of the c20sel or the c20xev. i dnt knw the last 2 motors as well as the let motor. please advise. thanks.

Bump

go for the c20xev someone on here has one and its in mint condition. cleanest engine paint on here. cleanest one ever was a mk3 golf in white with engine bay smoothed and engine had bits of it painted red was really nice.

go for the c25xe dude that'd give you a bit of poke under the bonnet

c20xev

you mean the x20xev mate

yeah lol couldnt mind there

nahh i mean the c25xe the vauxhall 2.5l v6 their was one in the scrappy on saturday at leominster

ah poo sorry, i thought you were talking to me

the v6 is a fine lump to stick in a corsa but a right pain to fit ,really sound the dogs when on full chat the problems start at the first corner you come too way too heavy for a corsa

the v6 i think is a bit too hectick. iv seen pics of corsas wit the 2.5l v6 nd its tight. duno how many engine mounts needa change bt i knw wit the 2l16v its just 1 nd if i opted 4 a 18xe no mounts needa change at all. bt my mind is set on a 2l ratha than a 1.8. i wud love the c20xe but they r 10thousand rand 4 the motor alone here. nd thats imported frm the u.k. wer as the other 2l16v go 4 around 6000.

can you no go to a scrap yard or try buy a doner car? im gonna get a doner calibra when i do my conversion.

I been lookin at scrap yards hoping 2 find a write off rear end smash bt no luck. the donor car is the best way to go bt double the amount of buying parts seperate. yea sure i can sell wats nt needed bt il neva make the extra money spent back. got a connection nw 4 a c20xe for 8000 which is 2000 off of the going price 4 those motors. im still running in circles with wat da best rout nd affordable route guna b. i dnt wana go cheap. bt i dnt wana waste money
