Might be worth a ask in a vauxhall dealer to see the price/avalibilty and to compare to when you get a total price for one shipped over ???

Or someone that has a worldwide copy of EPC will be able to see if the blocks are the same :)
My copy only does vauxhall and Opel I think, but will check later
It's a good point Edd, thanks. I'm on friendly terms with the local main dealer Parts people, so I will nip in there and make the enquiry.Quote:

Bit of a long shot but this engine was not used in any of the "other marques" carrying gm engines eg daewoo, fiat etc? Might be a way of finding one in europe then.
nope it is brazil only.. they use corn ethanol. thats why its 12:1 cr.
12:1 turbo sounds tasty, chuck some petrol in it anyway lolQuote:
