Well the top cover suggests its not a omega V6 (but then again that could have been fitted so the fat lard **** V6 would fit in in the first place).

[General Baxter]

to mke a 3L like that,

you need to use the omega 3L bottom end, and the cavalier, 2.5 topend, with 3L cams, there approx 210bhp!

[Mike]

saw that on ebay last nite lol :D good idea.....in a bigger car :D

[Philsutton]

why not just use the 3lt engine complete with just the 2.5 inlet? Plus i bet it corners ice cream van

[General Baxter]

heads are better on the 2.5 iirc!

[Philsutton]

its still a crap engine lol

[General Baxter]

indeed it is lol

you need a M20 engine ;) they can run 10psi on std internals, AFM, and ecu lol

[Mazz]

Don't think youcan fit the Omega 3.0 duel ram air thingy in a Nova bay, hence why people use the 2.5 head etc etc

[Gordon Livsey]

i personally dont rate the v6 conversion in novas and corsas, for all thehastle and power i think you are better with a c20 let

[Gordon Livsey]

and no mention of a steanghthened shell, wouldnt touch it

[CillitBang]

my brothers got th 3.5 twin turbo 6 speed in his GSe

[Pillar]

my brothers got th 3.5 twin turbo 6 speed in his GSe you what! is that the one that done 150mph in a standard GSi :roll:

[CillitBang]

no it was 156 actuall, on digi dash so well acuret.

[Gordon Livsey]

ive driven a 2.5 v6 corsa, and the handling on it is hellish, it wants to pull you all over the road and through someones front living room before it will go straight, even though c20xe/let novas and corsas aint much better they still handle a bit better

[General Baxter]

my brothers got th 3.5 twin turbo 6 speed in his GSe

i doubt you would get all that in a nova bay lol
homo lol

[Gordon Livsey]

3.5 v6 in a nova. any pictures to prove it

[CillitBang]

intercoolers on the roof and dump valves in the glove box

whats a wastegate??

[Gordon Livsey]

can picture the delorean from back to the future so i can

[superfu-kingnova]

no it was 156 actuall, on digi dash so well acuret.
lol LMFAO lol

[philthepill_389]

the v6 goes to teeside park very clean car seems fast to if u can get the power down dose alot of spinning then gone lol

[bowman]

you can just change the inlet manifold and use 3.0 heads etc.

3.0 heads give slighlty lower compression and have sodium filled valves. these also had lpt turbos fitted the front bank in the saab's.

They are very good engines. Lots of people banging on about head gaskets going on them, lack of power etc. this is usual through neglect, or faulty heat exchangers. I've lots of c20lets, xe's v6's eco earwigs etc. I prefer the v6 to them all. With a de cat and good intake they give 180bhp+ easy. You need mega mods to get that from an xe. Let's are a nightmare..... never had one run consistanly for more than week. One day it balistic, the next it feels 30bhp down! had enough of them......

nearly got my v6 nova finished. Cost loads less than an xe to do! (so far.):)

[markygsi]

i no who's car that is, was a 2.0 16v before. lad who done it has a 3.0 v6 in his calibra.
