They are 210+bhp as standard IIRC?

Looks like a good conversion, its actually sat straight lol

Still way too heavy for a nova IMO, but i bet its nice and smooth to drive when its going in a straight line.

even for a 2.5 v6 you only need 3.0lt cams and a full zorst system and a decent airfilter..

i didn't think you could fit a 3ltr in the nova/corsa? i know there was a guy from scotland in TV with a 3ltr silver corsa but it was said that he lied to get in the mag

looks tidy conversion that.i have 2.5v6 cav gsi 3ltr cams,4bar fpr,full 2.5in s/s exhaust,ram air fillet and enlarged tb and thats fast so i reckon that nova wil be seriously quick in straight line.maybe even give a let nova a hard time.

i do like that v6 nova alot tho.

Its true in being more individual than 20XE's, guy from work had it done to his corsa and its funny how the car has to be dropped onto the engine rather than the other way. Too much work if you ask me - but you cant beat a nice sounding throaty V6.

Fair play to him, done it the hard way though, a lot eaier if you move the master cylinder. But does look nice car top job !

the engine is located in a better position than an xe so prob wont handle hardly any worse,
