what engines fit mk3 astra

[Vinci]

who u refering to

Who do you guess? Okay, responses went from fairly intelligent to shall I say politely more and more 'entry level'.... And eventually getting stuck in beyond being able to go anywhere constructive...

And me as a foreigner who's native language is not English thinking it's me who isn't understanding your impossible to follow jibberish... sorry to say, but I'm afraid we all with great aversion can't do anything but agree with what's said above...

well said bud this is my first mk3 astra ive had corsa sports and civics so doing conversations aint for me but i just wanna know if i do every want a faster engine without big hassle wanna know my options so turbo steve take leaf out ur own book and u click the red and white cross

[ian ross]

just because somebody knows nothing about vauxhalls and another person knows more doesnt make anybody a fool the guy is finding it hard enough to find info on the car when he "knows nothing about vauxhalls" so try and help him if you can if you cant stop posting stupid comments as this aint helping anybody

ian sounds like you have a 1.4 8v mate so my guess is get a scrap corsa/astra about the same age and the engine will just replace the one you have at the moment

hope this helps

scott

cheers bud well said so any 1.4 8v from a vauxhall will be good to go in my car if ever need a replacement out a corsa or astra then i really do sound silly but dont wanna buy a engine and dont go in my car

Scott... Have you not read the full thread? I know things might be a bit harder for some people to grasp than others but I don't know how hard it is to understand that the same model engine will fit and most other vauxhall engines will fit (with the correct donor parts). that is what at least 6 different people have all said collectively, agreeing with each other. But there seems to be something that Ian doesn't understand about that. It's a bit frustrating and to be honest this will be my last post because id rather go and waste time constructively like play angry birds.

ASKMID.... Fail

Agreed. Even my car check comes back blank!

i cant see it being normal takes a while to hit 100 but today when parked up checked oil cap and its creamy but its really thin like not lumpy or that and plenty water in expnstion bottle do i just get another engine or fix it would a 1.6 8v fit straight in or would ecu and that need changed and that

Or maybe after reading this about five times I have to conclude it is possible to decypher...

No there is no other engine that can work on your ECU, so get the exact same engine from the exact same model and build year, but chances are it will crap out just the same. I'd just repair it, but that seems to be a long shot, so then get someone who knows how to repair it or at least diagnose it.

If you want a simple upgrade get a 1.6 engine which fits on the same gearbox and get it together with ECU and engine loom....

yes i know that maybe ive not wrote in a good way but just wanted to know if corsa 1.4 8v would fit my car or 1.6 8v of coursa i now know would need parts for the 1.6 and 1.4 8v fits no bother but never knew that untill i finally got told thanks to scott he only one who has gave me a straight answer and no 1 has asked u to keep cuming back am not missing u ur useless anyways

[ian ross]

[Paul]

and whats ur point

You asked who put Dave in charge. He's admin.

any conversion/transplant needs the donor ecu and loom unless it's the exact same engine as you've got In it already.
So to answer the questions you keep asking...
Any engine will fit.
No conversion will be easy.
You will need engine, loom and ecu, (gearbox, shafts, hubs, bigger brakes if it's a bigger engine) downpipe too. Possibly fuel pump depending what spec yours is as you've still not produced a vrn for us to check. (vrn = vehicle registration number Just to be sure).
An engine crane with a competent operator (don't want you hurting yourself).
Various Other tools.
A mechanic that hopefully knows the difference between an 8 and 16v.

I gave you this information on the 25th, that's 3 days ago. I don't know what else I could have wrote to make it easier for you to understand?!
I will accept your fairly gash comment that "I am useless" when I see your build threads of a Saab engine in a mk3 astra, a Saab engine in a mk4 coupe and soon a Saab engine in an rx8. A dozen c20xe's into various, a c18xe into a Tigra. And that's just my vauxhall accomplishments! Not to mention my Renault, Peugeot or citroen conversions!

[Vinci]

There's been so many straight answers pal, okay normal guys who are noobs at least come with information and the really nice ones with pictures to help us help them. We are not avoiding riddles, but this one takes a new prohete because it takes changing the creature itself. Are you flesh and blood or a bot?

Thread close in 5,4,3,2......

[Nemesis]

Once upon a time, lived a guy called Ian Ross
Drove without insurance, and didn't give a toss
Got himself an Astra, a lovely motor too
Not sure if it's 16v, or maybe a 1.2?

Got himself on migweb, and fired up a thread
"OH NOES GUYS I F1NK MY ENJUN'S D3AD"
It's making a ****ing rattle, like a skeleton having a wank
"But I can't afford a mechanic, it would break the ****ing bank"

The other thing I noticed, is that Ian cannot spell
Sentences are broken, with punctuation straight from hell
I WONT A RAPID CAR, he shouts with a Scottish roar
SO I BORT THIS WIKID ASTRA, a beasty 1.4
What a brilliant place to start, such an amazing car
Don't know your piston rings from your onion rings...
... you won't get very far!

Holy ****ing **** that's the funniest thing I've seen all week! Hahahaha this ones got to be made a sticky surely? Titled "how not to make friends/start threads"??

[Nemesis]

We need a MIG Gold room for threads like this

[ian ross]

got insurance unlike u lot that prob have redtops still registered as 1.4 or something and who asked u anyways

[Paul]

Ask MID says not, have a look yourself.

As for people with engine conversion registered wrongly, this is not what MIG is about.

No car for sale is allowed with engine details wrong for starters.

Anyway....
