Fit the engine and get troy to make up a hybrid cam cover for you?

[ashs_cav]

Guna sound stupid now...whats a hybrid rocker cover ?

[planetc]

Bit of both. A vauxhall top half with a saab bottom half maybe?

[ashs_cav]

Could look good like that...how much you rekon?

[ashs_cav]

Also...has anyone done a z20leh conversion?

[Gaz]

leh is a whole can of worms, canbus wiring.....

[ashs_cav]

Has it been done before then yh?

[Gaz]

On a cavalier, no and it wont be anytime soon

[ashs_cav]

Asif...anyone know anything about the bolt on turbo kit from Regal Autosport for the x20xev ecotec?

[Gaz]

You may as just throw your cash out of the window.

[ashs_cav]

Haha why...different eco turbo

[dave955]

Because for the same price you could buy a hole vectra Vxr. Also with the kit you will struggle to see let power

[ashs_cav]

Ahhh that expensive...wel...still stuck between...saab turbo...z20let...and c20let

[dave955]

The regal kit was £4000 that's without the rebuild kit you would need etc

[dave955]

Z28net on standalone FTW

[ashs_cav]

Z28?

[dave955]

Vectra Vxr 2.8 6 turbo

[ashs_cav]

Thought tht be same route as astra vxr?

[vauxtillidie]

Yes that's what's stand alone management is, you need this because both the vectra and astra vxr engines use canbus ecu's to which you have no chance of getting to work in a cav.

Zlet on the other hand doesn't use canbus

[ashs_cav]

Ahhh right...wel think if I do come across a c20let by chance...il get it...if not...im guna look into Saab b204...nice and different

[ashs_cav]

Can I use the saab internals into the cav engine? Or use the cab head on saab bottom?

[Gaz]

No

[belmont_dazz]

Done a few saab conversions now and with out a doubt they are alot better than vauxhall engines. They produ e more torque when tuned and are very strong/cheap engines. I personally dont think they suit an f28 but thats my opinion. Im putting one into my new cav, c20let isnt even an option for me anymore.

[belmont_dazz]

Saab engines share nothing with vauxhall engines either by the way just a starter motor and bellhousing pattern.
