Engine swap - LET inside

FR_ · Bericht door **FR_** » 27 sep 2006 15:23

Hello guys,
Basicly I'm from Lithuania(poland neighbour).
currently I have astra f gsi 2.0 16v and I planning to make swap-> to the LET.
we have like around 2 turbo astra's and two kadett;s but those guys arent involved in any club or smth, and what is more they live far away from capital-vilnius. what makes very hard to consult with them.
so i ask for your help.(as far as i know you got at least few turbo gsi)
I got loads of questions.

1) does the stock gearbox with stock clutch(speakin about 2.0 16v gsi 5gear box) holds - stock Let power(200hp's)
or its necesary to change with aftermarket? - the thing I wouldn't like to do right now.

2) so far i have heard that calibras 6spead gearbox does not fit in astra f.
is that right?

3) what other technical problems I may meat during swap and after?

Thanks in advance 4 help.

F20 Gearbox is not designed for the power of the C20LET. Will hold, but for how long...

2) so far i have heard that calibras 6spead gearbox does not fit in astra f.

Fits Perfectly! Just needs to be adjusted to FWD (original 4WD), kits for conversion are availible from several shops

3) what other technical problems I may meat during swap and after?

Thanks in advance 4 help.

I have emaild you a PDF containing Information Swapping a C20LET into an kadett GSi. Its not the same as swapping into an AStra, but you will get the generall idea of what awaits you.

V6 gearbox WONT fit.
It has a terrible gear ratio and is 25 mm longer so it wont fit.
