[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.

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]

they do list the rallycross engine as the l850

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

 

[Dave Gilbert]

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.

 

[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.
