The catera is an Opel Omega thats been rebadged, so it basically sports the same family of drivetrain we do.

Well i already have the 2.0L U20SED in mine, and that made quite the difference, i couldnt imagine it being turboed or slightly modified, it would surprise alot of ppl on the road. But i didnt know the Catera's engine fit, that would be awesome, i wonder how much work it would take to drop it in. I ...

so the one thats running 15's has a swaped engine? Yes, he took out the 1.8 liter 135ish hp v6 and dumped in a 2.5 liter 200ish hp v6. Both engines are identical from the outside so its a direct fit, you can even use the stock 1.8 ecu with them without any problems. This is what the 2.5L KLZE engin...

Unless your looking into dumping some serious cash, forget this swap, you will need the engine and all its accessories, the transmission, ecu, wiring harness, fabricate new mounts, have custom axels made, custom exhaust made, custom wiring because none of your gauges will work... Theres alot more i ...

No additional mods, the car is stock, with a stock klze engine from japan, with the ecu that goes with it, all it has is a lightweight flywheel and a 2.5 inch exhaust all the way. Hes definitely in the mid 15's cause i raced him and i know him well. Another one of my friends had the same car, same e...

Speaking of 3000k hid's im trying to find some that fit the 1st gen foglights. Can any1 share some light on what type of bulb i need to make it work?

15.5 with an auto and 160hp?? lol no way man, a friend of mine has an mx-3 with a 200+hp 2.5L KLZE v6 engine with a lightened flywheel, 2.5 inch exhaust and he makes around 15.2 to 15.5 on the 1/4. My 2.0 does 16.9 with the D16 tranny, i havent tried with the D20 yet, i would expect low 16's with th...

Stop whining, i get around 300 kms on a full tank of gas with my 2.0 which is 40 liters before the light comes on.

40L = 10.5 gallons
300 kms = 186.4 miles

Which gives me 17.8 mpg, driving normally

Its not the HP you gotta worry about, its the Torque you put thru the gearbox. HP is just something calculated from torque, when you dyno a car, the dyno measures torque at the wheels, hp is calculated from a formulae based on the torque you put out. Hell you could make 350 hp without a problem, as ...

Why waste your money on colored wires when you only see 1/15th of the wire's length cause its hidden under the plastic engine cover.

I had the 8.5 magnacore wires on my 1.6 and they made absolutely no difference.
