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.Quote:

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.Quote:

very funny, hunter. :? [-(
If only the shipping wasn't that expensive, I'd buy this right here and swap everything over to my Aveo:

i have a few friend that go scouring the european/uk markets for parts and bring over a trailer load of rare euro parts once/twice/few times a year.. maybe i will look into costs of a vsxr engine swap..
