The original daewootech forum

This is a list I've been working on a little at a time. It's intended to be a complete list of all the different chassis that use an engine and transmission with the same bolt pattern.

Her is an example of the "bellhousing" bolt patter the is being referred to.


The list should include engine and transmission codes. If the info is not there than I'm not sure of the code, if you have the car and/or know the code PM me or post it and I'll add it to the list.

because I'm located in the States I'll only post the cars available here. This way the info is more accurate, I hope the members from countries will loin in.


...so away we go!

...there are a lot more Saturn's, Geo's and Isuzu's than listed, I'm still getting that straight.

IF YOU ARE GOING TO ADD TO THE LIST HAVE ALL THE SAME INFO HANDY AS ABOVE. don't just throw on "F20" or "F28" without the car it came in.


NOTE: there is a difference in terminology that should be addressed. transmissions are reffereed to in two ways, their name/code (ie F16, D16, ...F28) and their RPO (ie.M25...). both should be listed if available, I get the impression the the M25 and F28 are the same unit, but I'm not sure.

Does that mean that with some motor mounts/rewiring we could put these engines in the lanos?

yep! there is actually a thread floating around here where a guy did basically the same thing into his Astra MK2 (basically the same chassis of course)

I'll keep trying to find the link, Chris or Tom posted it, they may have to help find it.

Garrett

update: Here is the link to the topic Tom posted about the V6 into a Lanos or Lemans. CLICK HERE

This write-up has been made by someone over in UK - very interesting.

Its has a lot of photos, and loads a tad slow, so give it time

CLICK HERE

Tom

Think the links dead garrett

Keeps timing out for me.

hhmmm... I'll see if I can find another link, perhaps there server is just down atm.

cheers

like/site is still unavailable. guess its dead...

sorry I spaced this out, I'll have another look, perhaps you can too. the information should be available at migweb.co.uk

sorry for leaving you hanging.

does this mean that 04-08 Chevy Optra 5 2.0 DOHC (engine: U20SED) 5-speed manual (D20) and 4-speed auto FWD can be installed with espero????

yes

How about the engine mount or engine support does it have the same with the 04-08 Chevy Optra 5 2.0 DOHC (engine: U20SED) 5-speed manual (D20)? no modification needed??

I haven't been able to see a clear picture but I think the cassis is similar to the Nexia, Kadett E, Astra Mk2 and Lanos among others. if it is, I make a motor mount to mount the 2.0 Optra motor into these chasss. you have to give up power steering and AC though. you would have to confirm that they use the same engine bracket on the chassis though.

as for the gearbox, most of the Daewoos since the 80's have used the same mount on the left side of the chassis. the mount from the fire-wall is specific to the chassis and not the gearbox so that typically nevr changes either. the D20 gearbox is of (i'm using one for the time being) but I think the Espero probably uses an F16 gearbox which is better than the D20 from the Optra. in that case you can keep the gearbox you have and the Optra motor will bolt directly to it.

Wow...thanks for the lecturing...I appreciate it very much....I learn a lot.... ok I will try what your suggestion...will feedback you then...again till next time...thanks
