VTEC can hah ?

Look through other threads (I hope you've already searched for them), it's a lot easier to swap in a Daewoo/Opel made engine since the engine mounts will be the same.

Opel/vauxhall c20xe or c20let would be 10000x better than a vtec.

2l 16valve, how much would either one cost imported to US? I would probably need the ECU and everything...

C20GET is the same, but SOHC instead of the DOHC, made 165HP and can be found in Pontiac Sunbirds. Will pretty much just drop in... However finding one, let alone in good condition, is the hard part.Originally Posted by serega12
I leased Pontiac Wave from September 2006 to August 2011.
thats correct. There are only 2 c20get's in sa. The c20let is a 2l 16v turbo with about 200hp. A c20xe is a 2l 16v(red top & black top) not sure on hp but 115kw and 110kw respectivly. On average a c20xe goes for about R8000.00 then shipping to usa. I would suggest aftermarket fuel management for these motors. Afaik the front engine mound needs to be fabricated and the aveo gearbox should fit.Originally Posted by ontarian_frog

vtech is the best ideal ever, i want to make less than 100hp untill 8000rpm then make 150 for 1 second when i have to shift back out of vtec, you would have to be crazy not to want to swap this engine in your car
very funny, hunter.

If only the shipping wasn't that expensive, I'd buy this right here and swap everything over to my Aveo:
