Hi guys,
a while i was't able to visit forums (because of studying) but here i am to post a few things

First and most important i give up from C20XE engine .. a take something bigger


With engine i got f16 gear, ecu and all cables, just dont have exhaust pipes and lambd.
Engine is still out, but over winter will be instal.
And at start one question, does i need a home made passenger mount or i just need to expand a his one?? (about 23mm if i am right)

One more gsi rear lights


preparation for V6 engine


Another spring (blue Koni, red are supersport)


GSi 5d seats (front)


GSI fanblades wheels, grill, and fog lights (one in reserve)

[RedBill]

Nice efforts. Which V6 engine is this, 2.5 or 3.2 litre?

Do you need any legislation in Serbia when you perform such an engine-swap?

[mikejuhhh]

[dzimi]

I wiil have legally to sing up engine change, and unfortunately to pay registration for 2500ccm engine which is aroung 450e (for 1.6 is 200)

Hallo team

Instaling engine doing slow but its surely

Meanwhile there is something new.

Without tires i pay 250e what is cheap i thing

[RedBill]

Do you have pictures of those wheels under your Astra?
I have no idea what those rims would have cost new, but if they are good 250 euros isn't much...

[dzimi]

[dzimi]

Unfortunately danny becayse ET30 does't feat good on rear, i had to sold Schmidt, i my friend take it. Now search for some 16' wheels with ET ~35, 40



A few days before i start to take out my old engine





F16 gearbox put on sell, becayse buy F20 (If i find 5ft gear from f18 that will be good move)

Now i wait to arrive a stronger crane to pull out 1.6, wash and paint engine bay, put V6 and connect shaft, loom..

[RedBill]

Will you put an F20 behind a V6 engine?
Do you think it will hold?

[astra-gsi-666]

F28 better four v6 .

[DennisG]

Wow, all the way from Serbia!!

[dzimi]

Will you put an F20 behind a V6 engine?
Do you think it will hold?

Well i hope, without forse acceleration i think will hold ( at less 10 000km)
Yae danny, but f28 is hard to find here but that gearbox is ideal for V6.

Whats new..
X25xe i left for parts becayse when open a engine he was trash


And another parts was very bad..
So i buy C25xe, in good shape, with ecu, wiring, G inlet and chip ( has about 203hp)

How have a little difficulties with wiring, but engine should start soon

[astra-gsi-666]

calibra turbo got 204 bhp(c20let)and 280 nm torque.
you got(c25XE)has about 203hp and F28 perfect four it.
