corsaZ22se

went to Silverstone today for BTCC and got a close up in the garage of rob hollands audi and its running a Swindon 2L version of the good old z22se 🙂
and saw just what I need for my oil cooler, now just got to get one. :confused:

evocarlos

nice a20nft 🙂

corsaZ22se

yes only swindon don't like to say its a gm power unit.

evocarlos

it dont matter how you butter it up its still a a20nft even if they dont lake to call it a gm product they may sell more if they did lol
i'd buy one -- not lol i would do it my self 🙂

evocarlos

It says gm on the website. So is that basicly a z20let? 2.0 turbo or a b207r 2.0 turbo

""""TOCA Engine. An un-branded 2.0l direct injection turbo-charged engine for use in the BTCC."""
neither
its a all alloy ecotec based a20nft (astra j vxr) engine to you 🙂

the gm l850 covers every all alloy ecotec engine in the range

I dint know they changed the vxr engine from H to J.

im sure it will 😉
just need to find one going cheep then find the ecu to run it in the corsa. :confused:

evocarlos

hard work finding an ecu that does drive by wire ,di and vvt
spose you could use a cobalt LNF ecu and hp tuners

Dave_Gilbert

I bet its hard enough findin the engine hahaha.

corsaZ22se

more of a case of finding an ecu I can afford! motec do ecu's that will run the engine. 🙂

not going to be long before good second hand astra J ones become available here.

corsaZ22se

well found out where to get oil cooler plate from, bit pricey but worth it when you see quality. £180.
