[torquey]

how much is a c20ne worth these days? just want an engine no box or loom. got offered one for 250 lol

[stupot89]

pm thedjse he has a late one out of a mk3 astra convetrable

[nova_saloon]

lol out rageous

[bai1ey]

i have a 2l8v out of a cav sri if that is the same you can have it for 100 plus postage or collection

[torquey]

ok thanks all. bai1ey could you check if its a c20ne?

[Jack]

NE is the 2.0 8v 115bhp yeas? In that case, errrrmm not much lol

[bai1ey]

as far as i no the one i have is the 130bhp one ?

[dontliftdrift]

250.........rolfcopter

[Lewis.]

if its out of a cav SRI its the 130bhp, 135ftlbs 20SEH motor. i've got one, they pull like funk =)

[Lewis.]

£250 is XE money! £200 max if its mint and comes with a box, shafts, 4 branch etc

[bai1ey]

thats it c20seh but it is still that price i want rid

[Rich Dale]

I paid £100 for a C20NE for my Calibra when my old one lost oil pressure and seized. I got engine complete including gear box and all ancillaries so I wouldn't pay more than that for one!

Only the early MK3 Cav SRi's had the SEH (130PS), later ones had the NE (115PS) then eventually the red top XE for a short while before going to the ECOTECH.

mk2 and early mk3s

i paid £100 for mine with a box but it was the 115bhp one...and it had 200k on it :P never let me down once

[*Dave*]

i sold a c20ne complete with all ancilaries, box, loom ecu etc for £150 lol

was about a year ago

[Lee H]

I sold a complete one for £20 a couple of years ago. Utter ****e engines.

[ben doodar]

I through one away a couple of weeks ago as I presumed it was worthless, lol shame you could of had it for free if you'd of know. Also why do you want a NE rather then a SEH? Turboing it?? As there lower comp then the SEH. Iirc.

20SEH FTW!

Ive always dreamed of an early SR with an SEH, pure heaven to me

See above, the OP is on about the SEH despite the title.

[db_1.2]

Id still have an NE though

[Lynsey]

We just sold an NE for £80 with gearbox, loom etc. SEHs rule. My Cav SRi and Nova both have SEHs and they're brilliant :)

[Nova_Tek]

NE is only worth putting in a Nova if you're thinking about turboing it as it's lower compression. SEH is the better engine if you want to keep it NA. 15 more BHP out of the box and should also have a f16cr mated to it.

Like Lynz has said, bulletproof engines, cheap to repair and maintain and go very well with good fuel economy if driven sensibly.

Is it the pistons that are different?

[Nova_Tek]

AFAIK the SEH has different pistons, different cam, higher compression and different ECU map to give it that extra 15bhp. Obviously the close ratio box helps acceleration. Apart from that everything is the same.

Cool! :)

Taken from MK2CAV.com


What made the SRi 130 quicker than a standard SRi?


2 Bhp more than Astra GTE 2.0L due to better exhaust route
Revised Bosch Motronic Engine Management
Larger Intake valves & exhaust manifold
More compact combustion chamber shape
Bigger bore exhaust along the length
Shorter, lighter Pistons
Revised valve timing
Integrated, adaptive engine management & ignition system
Engine block both stiffer & lighter
Crank & con rods lightened
Friction loss cut by thinner piston rings & valve stems
New high efficiency oil pump & cooler in front grille.
Smaller water jacket for quicker warm up & enhanced pump.

Quite a lot of difference between the NE (Normal MK2 Cav SRi) to the SEH (SRi 130)
