Let me start this thread by saying that this isn't for you if you're looking for a cheap smokey motor with no history and loads of potential headaches. This is for you if you don't mind paying a bit extra and get pretty much everything you need for a hassle free conversion.

The engine is absolutely mint, no tapping from cold, no misfires, no smoking, no knocks! Always been ran on Vpower in my ownership.

C20XE engine, late coilpack type removed from 1994 Calibra with 84,644 miles (covered about 4000 in the Nova so far). Before it went in, it had a quick refresh with following bits:



Z20LET multi layer steel head gasket
While head was off it was fitted with new valve stem seals
Z20LET exhaust manifold studs and nuts
New gaskets on exhaust manifold, inlet manifold, rocker cover, throttle body, top hat, thermostat and thermostat housing
New LUK clutch
New coilpack
New cam belt
New top hat donut pipe
Injectors ultrasonically cleaned
New rocker cover breather pipe
New oil and filter, new gearbox oil too



Everything used was GM or OE quality if I couldn’t get genuine parts

- Magnex 4-1 exhaust manifold
- Magnex exhaust system (3 box system, not loud)
- Lightweight flywheel (4KG)
- Polished steel rear coolant rail
- Irmscher top hat
- Breather mod done
- TTV Racing aluminium bottom pulley
- GTE radiator (& all coolant pipes included)
- Slimline fan
- Carbon fibre exhaust manifold heat shield
- Magnetic sump plug
- Samco coolant hoses
- Custom alternator mount nylon bushes
- Daewoo D16 gearbox with 3.9 final drive
- Conversion tapered drive shafts
- Custom silicone induction hose
- Engine mounts filled with tiger seal for extra strength
- Large K&N style air filter
- Hybrid of Nova and Corsa B linkage with new GM bushes and nylon centre bush
- Griffin autosport conversion 2.0 mounts
- External Bosch fuel pump
- 16V throttle cable
- Corsa B fuel unions & plastic fuel lines up to driver seat then copper 8mm pipe from there to tank
- Fuel tank (not sure what model its off but never suffer from fuel surge even when low on level)


Still in the car, can be seen running if you want.

No, the calibra got scrapped. I should have kept the clocks!

It runs and fires up like a modern engine not usual XE where its hunting, smoking, breathing heavy, stinking of fuel, kangrooing etc!
