this is an engine for the btcc MG

Not sure whether it's just the angle of the picture but that must have a really compact bellhousing, given the location of the turbo.

the image angle is not good

you missed out the v6 option I mentioned which has its intake between the V ancillaries, and exhaust routing above gearbox

Can we move this topic slightly off course and start talking about installing the 2.8 V6 turbo engine please? Save me starting a new thread

standard gearbox bolts up, plus trionic 8 suite ( knock control is done by ion voltage on the individual coil packs )

[siztenboots]

here is the engine mounts details ( http://opeloem.com/v..._mountings.html )

That can be a very interesting turbo position for an DI-LNF engine in a VX220. (or turbo my LSJ... )
Any pics of the exh. manifold on this turbo set-up?

is this the V6
if so
which gearbox manual or turbo

[siztenboots]

F23 or M32, its standard GM pattern , it does also come with a 4wd option

I think you would want the bell housing for a front mount starter iirc

[Rosssco]

Looks like the 'Ecotec' pattern, with front mounted starter position, so NA gearbox (and what ever ratios you see fit). Its the electronics side that usually flumoxes me. I though CANBUS-based systems were a major pain (assuming this is)?

[slindborg]

CAN is not hard to get round, just time consuming..... CANBUS is nearly impossible to get round as its existence is as real as Unicorns.

[VX-GT]

Yummy v6 that can replace 2.2 ecotec and T8 brain even more yummy

[VX-GT]

CAN is good for me one will be waiting a long time for the (can)bus
