Vauxhall cavalier sri 2.0 8 valve engine

[chrisdovey]

looking at getting one of these what will i have to do/ change to get it into my nova?

cheers chris

its exactly thee same as putting a 16v in you require
1. engine,loom,ecu,gearbox,22 spline shafts or conversion shafts, maybe hubs, depending what shafs you choose
2.bigger brakes are a deffo
3.fitting kit off of chris astley as he is a top fella
thats about it i think

[carls nova sri]

plus seam welding the engine bay for strength

[chrisdovey]

new to all this so when you say the loom is that the entire wiring loom?
also will i deff need hubs beacuse if i get the spline convesion i wont need them

[Dan 130]

the engine will have seperate loom so just that if you get gte 22 spline shafts huba will be fine but if you get the conversion shafts that are bigger each end you will need bigger hubs

dan, you started your conversion yet?

chris my mates got all the conversion parts you need, all brand new, shalfs by m-tec, hubs, engine mounts, 2.0xe engine, f20 box, wiring loom, brand new inner and outer cv's. the only other thing you will need is the chassis plate kit, get from chris astley.

with the kit, you will still need gte drive shafts, you can use your own hubs.

the conversion splines are only cv joints

[chrisdovey]

what about if i get cav drive shaft aswell what will need then?

[Dan 130]

your best bet is that kit you have found there , and a set of gte 22 spline shafts you could find them from a scrap yard car just make sure when you count the the spline count the actual shaft itself not the c.v i dont think you can use cav shafts because there to long

You cant use cav shafts.

or you can use the motorsport drive shafts, as it aint that easy finding gte shafts anymore

why not put 2.0 16v in, just as much the same work,

[carls nova sri]

i was just wondering when you move the mount for the 2l 8v can you use it again for the 16v or have you got to reposition it again

[mk2novagte]

i had one in my mk1 :) (see projects)

Theyre a good strong engine for a nova - surprisingly quick too! The SEH's are the ones you want.
