astra
How bout Vectra B 1.8 SRI 130... z18xe anyone?

not 100% on the differences tbh, but i think any 18 will do considering what you'll do to it eventually(tbs etc etc)
vecs big block im pretty sure
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, thoroughly used, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming... "f*ck, what a trip!"
I will have to more than likely TB it as there fly-by-wire?

ah, well obviously that matters, whoopslmaoOriginally Posted by alistairolsen
fly by wire is well doable, but you have to run the whole loom from the donor, tbs rock anyways!
plan will be tbs anyhow! They sound all grizzly and mean business

is there any point running an 18? I mean it's the same size and I'm guessing the same weight as a 20 but the 20 would have more power.
no the Z18XE small block is the same size as the 14/16xe

o rly?
i never knew that, i always thought from 18 upwards was a big block
go! 18! go!
whats the specs on those? bore/stroke gen pleaseno the Z18XE small block is the same size as the 14/16xe

slightly bigger bore than the 16 and more stroke, makes a lovely engine from what i'm being told, revvy like the 16 but more torque
Longer stroke and revvy?
If I had an engine with a long stroke I'd concentrate on making it give as much torque as possible, instead of aiming for maximum revs.
That's short stroke/big bore territory.
Teeth? LUXURY! When I was a child we ate by putting rocks in our mouth and jumping up and down.
yes, but thats the thing with this 18, apparently its still very revvy, its not a huge increase in stroke over the 1600 if you think about it
The corsa c uses a small block 18??
all depends on the standard of the OE crank / rods and what not as well.
For instance Vauxhall straight 6 12v has bonkers 95mm bore and 69.8mm stroke. But it hates revving over 6500rpm because its all nastily cast bottom end cant handle it, and its not what the breathing has been set up to do either.
