Member Trix2702 is the man to speak to.
He just completed a C25XE into a Nova Gsi a few months ago with a little help from myself.
Basically the engine went in place fitted with an F20 Box & flywheel, once in place he mocked up a front mount and got it fabricated.
The nova was previously fitted with an C20XE so existing shafts were used.
Removed power steering and got a shorter Alternator belt.
Front manifold and downpipe fitted without modification but rear manifold was shortened and welded at a different angle after which the downpipe was modded to go round the steering rack, this was all done and lined up perfect with the existing exhaust system.
A slim line fan was used on radiator due to lack of space and the landing panel was trimed slightly to go round timing cover and oil filler etc.
Everything else was pretty much straight forward.
With 3.0 ltr cams and an uprated fuel regulator these engines are capable of over 200bhp :D
The initial mocking up making mount etc. takes time but basically the car was in and out within the week! :eek:
Will be posting a thread up on this car shortly. ;)
kool matey i did hear chris astley was gonna be doing nova v6 mounts. the alt belt needed is the cav mk3 v6 non pas non ac one
sounds cool guys, just got myself a c25xe, nice and cheap so looks like am having one of those in :P
just been to see mate with engine its in a pink mk2 astra cabby :O got it running after some messing around, oil is all mushy but car has been stood for 18months or so. i have got it really cheap so not too worried. going to be making a WIP thread very soon
Nice one mate, look forward to it.
Save the effort and just fit the 3.0 to begin with lolQuote:
