there was one on ebay earlier at ?89 with 3 days to go the m tech one i believe

phil

[Mike]

ive heard/been told the M tech one is supposedly the best/easiest kit for engine conversions at a decent'ish price?

[Dave]

have a word with ste_nova
he's done more 16v conversions than most people an should be able to help you!

[Aragorn]

there are cheaper ways to do it

16v mount kit from valvers.com or brians on mig is about ?40

22spline nova GTE/TD shafts with mk2 cav 1.6 inner cv's which allow u to fit the big block box while keeping the std outer hubs etc

throw the ARB away

valvers.com has a good guide and wiring diagrams

and an airfilter u can get anywhere


im also not aware of any changes to the engine in 1993 that would require an extra ?16

[NickWalliams]

I paid:

Mate ?10 to make a mount and gearbox spacers (And it fits perfect)
?20 for gte shafts
?35 each for cav inner's.
?40 for an induction kit.
Total ?105

?500-?105 = ?395 saved

And as for anti roll bar mount they are a load of bollocks, just a block of allui with two holes drilled in it.

So ?500 is a rip off.

My whole engine conversion cost me under ?800 and for that I even got a complete astra gte!

[mark1astramad]

no i think im wrong,but could be early ones had a dizzy,laters had a dispak!!!!!!! :D :D (i think thats me 2 the top of the class) :lol: :lol: :lol:

[parrington21]

do you have to put a bigger exauste in or will it be ok for a bit with the standard one? i read somewhere some one just put some kind of hose to match up the sizes of the valver manifold and there standard 2 inch (or what ever it is) exauste?

[NickWalliams]

Astra gte downpipe is 2 1/4 inch, Nova GSi after market is usually 2inch. So some fettling is required. I have just used a piece of flexi pipe for now, til I get a custom stainless made.

I think ashley Nova Gsi systems are 2 1/4 inch bore. An astra gte manifold will mate with a nova, but the cav ones are longer.

[parrington21]

so its ok to just match iup the two different size's of exauste for a while, will this make any difference in the performance? or the running of the car, after the engine is in do you have to get a m.o.t?
