thanks m8, very helpfull. i am studying options on how to do it best, especially keeping in mind that i am gathering parts for a turbo conversion in somewhat 2 years..(slow, i know, but bugdet doesnt buy me speed).

i am now in the part where i choose the correct MS to buy, and i have this website where he sends a base map for the c20xe, then i must choose how the engine is driven, by dizzy or dispack... so i must choose wisely.. i can buy c20xe ready for dizzy.. or assemble correctlymy dispack modification and hope to run it with MS... must think and study this.

thanks again

no worries - you're doing the best thing i wish i knew what i was doing when i bought mine lmao. i ended up replacing half of the ecu with my own components etc which costs more and more

hi sorry... i have the engine in place but it seems not to fit on the back...

i have the left mount ok.. then the gearbox one is not near to bolt.. i am using the x14xe mount.. what mount did you use?

i removed the tophat, but not even without it..

the mount is of by around 10 centimeters.. i would need to push back the engine some more.

i wonder if i have to take something of the back of the engine...firewall or something... :S

also, the metal piece supporting the gearbox selector seems to stomp on the steering rack...

hey dude, i think you have to use the calibra/cavalier gearbox mount iirc, it should bolt in perfect , well the front of the cam cover fouls the bonnet so youl have to cut the fire mat from under the bonnet and might have to lower the engine a bit on that side (spacers in the mount). I remember having some difficulty with the gear selector but it was fine in the end when the engine was bolted in It might not be fitting properly because the engine is tilting - it will only be tilting correctly when all the mounts are secured i'd suggest using a load balancer on your engine hoist to get it all lined up
