you guys like the new color idea? Still debating on the new color, These are my options: Bordeaux red mica: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v393/Kevread/newlook001.jpg That is hilarious, I posted this exact picture as the color I wanted to paint my car. So you want Silver, I want Bordeaux Red, to...

There are three cables ( if my memory is correct ) for selection of vent and heat. It's likely one is disconnected or the plastic tab has been broken off ( perhaps from installation of aftermarket stereo ) Based on language and the fact that the above person seems to be driving a RHD lanos, the posi...

Personally I would aim towards the 2.0L engine due to the easy availability of parts and it has a much larger support. It is very hard to say what the 1.6L will be capable of due to the fact that there are very few 1.6L Turbo projects that have a true "Daewoo" block The 2.0L has been tested and has ...

I'm really in two minds about spending any more money on this car or saving up for an Astra G GSI like what my partner has. Seems like you guys had all kinds of different Astra models, found this one, very nice but more money than I would have expected for a 9yr old car http://www.autotrader.com.au...

Perfect Power was always decently priced, my friend ( who owned a tuning shop ) was able to get complete units for around $150 roughly 5 yrs ago.

They are good units, I do not remember a single complaint.

Yes, they've been around for a long time, like any other piggyback, there is a learning curve with respect to wiring, setup and tuning. Over all they are a decent price point for what you get. I know a few guys who installed them for controlling extra injectors, this way they were able to get decent...

Shame to see a perfectly good car go to the scrap yard, there are lots of guys running 300-400hp with the 8V

Just noticed the comment on facebook about looking for a manual to drop into the sunbird, if you do plan to do this I would suggest looking at a performance clutch/pressure plate so that you save yourselves headache in the future.

What he wants to do basically is take a later engine bloc and swap it into his Sunbird with th DOHC head and other stuff to make something that has good potential. What are your goals for power ? Is it an automatic or manual ? What is your budget for the project ? Given the 16V engines in North Ame...

Perhaps you have a combination of a warped rotor and a contaminated brake pad, it's possible the contaminated pad will cause a higher coefficient of friction to begin with when it's cold and slowly fade out causing the problem to decrease significantly as you drive. Personally, I'd go right to repla...

Comparisons at 0.400" for intake /exhaust on other 2.0L engines

Exist3nce stock U20SED = 193 /174
Exist3nce ported U20SED= 211/190
Saab B202 (old ) = 153 /160
Saab B202 (new) = 182 /165
C20XE sabre = 196 /166
Ecotec = 204 /152
Subaru EJ20 =151/111

Over all the only way to get really good data would be to have a U20SED and a C20XE head on the same exact flow bench with the same conditions, but it is interesting to see that based on these numbers, the U20SED isn't that bad.

Comparison with porting: Intake Lift------ Ported------Ported Sabre1 -----------U20SED-----C20XE 0.100"-----100--------79 0.200"-----172--------155 0.300"-----197--------198 0.400"-----212--------214 0.450"-----216--------221 Exhaust Lift------ Ported------Ported -----------U20SED-----C20XE 0.100"--...

By Comparison of stock ( assuming the C20XE Sabre head is virtually stock ) : Lift------ U20SED---C20XE Sabre head 0.100"------88------80 0.200"-----156-----159 0.300"-----189-----187 0.400"-----193-----196 0.450"-----197-----199 Exhaust Lift------ U20SED---C20XE Sabre head 0.100"-----101-----77 0.2...

Here is a decent site for comparisons of flow ( including Vauxhall/Opel engines such as the C20XE and ECOTEC ) http://users.erols.com/srweiss/tablehdc.htm#Opel The description of numbers are not that great, I'm guessing at a few of them based on their descriptions 1st line = flow of intake / flow of...
