    hey all first post here and hoping someone can point me in the right direction

    i have a 2.2 petrol sri vectra and at the moment i am havin alot of problems with car from the likes of
    1)timing chain ready to go
    2)acceleration problems
    3)engine management light on
    4)going throw about 4 litres of oil a week (oil seals or pistons)
    5)feul leaking aroung feul rail pips
    and more lol

    is there any other engines a can put into my car without having to replace monts and wiring and pipes like mayby a 3.2 v6 or a 2l turbo or something like that

    has anyone else changed the engine to another size or that
    as i want to get more power but without putting same engine bk in as in another 2.2

    Isnt it the y22se or z22yh ( cant remember lol ?) -the later 165bhp 2.2 16v in the vec c?
    Im pretty sure youll need to replace the mounts anyway, if you are to put a non-2.2 into the vec c. But as long as you buy an engine with its mounts from any normal vec c, that engine and box should fit, but its the wiring side of things youll have difficulty.
    Best just buying another vec c..?

    I'd just replace the engine for what you have now.

    Want a better one? Easier just buying another car.
    For the love of God, please read the rules
