My Nova V6 Project

That arch looks a lot better than mine :(

I was always told the x30xe with G cams and MSD ecu was the fastest way to go with a v6?

Are the 3.2s quicker now?

You were told wrong then mate about the ecu anyway as msd didn't do anything to the ecu the only difference to a standard Sri vectra with the Gsi were cams and a back box on the performance side anyway just as with the st200

After practising my mig skills on scrap metal, today i've decided to have ago on the nova, started to seam/stitch weld the engine bay, loads more to do but heres a couple of pics anyway

welding looks good pal, David Dixon reckons 2.5 with 3.0 cams iirc over the 3.0, the 3.0 is for pub banter lol

I reckon its BS personally as my sister had a 2.5 V6 Vectra and I couldnt notice any difference at all before/after she had 3.0 cams put in it!

well mines staying standard lol its proved its worthy soo far ......

Is the 2.6 v6 sri engine any good for a corsa, sorry to jump in but i have the vectra sat here doing nothing, and i had a 2.5 v6 corsa before and loved it

thanks

Cheers mate, yeah i've been told the 3.0 is a bit of a dog out of the lot of them lol, i've still got my 2.5 i know its revs better than the others but i'm getting the 3.2 so i can have an engine that i dont have to push and the 3.2 are standard at roughly 210bhp so then overtime i can increase that, are you still sticking the saab v6 turbo lump in yours at some point mate?

Wasn't your sisters a Gsi tho? If so the inlet cams on the Gsi are the same as the 3.0
