That's cool, was thinking about that for a while, but i don't like the shape of the lanoses. Sticking with the nexias tbh :)


Still wouldnt say no to a v6 lanos though :D

If anyone has more info that'd be cool

more than likely to be a polish invention... they're mad about the lanos over there. (also, the guys profile who uploaded the video is polish)

I think thats a lump out of the old omega v6... not 100% sure tho.

Well there were a few different omega v6's, his is the 2.5 v6, the lesser of the v6's that came in omegas.

But still, a v6 in a lanos is pretty cool. Knew it'd be done sooner or later. Had a chance to buy a v6 not so long ago and then a lanos came up for 150 quid and i started thinking lol. But I decided against it for now.

Yep, this Lanos is from Poland :D We also have Corsa A V6 :P And some other cool cars :P

As for THIS Lanos:
Stock Vectra B 2,5 24V V6 X25XE, 170HP
This is old film, now Lanos has new, 2,5in exhaust pipe.
The old one was from Lanos 1,6, it had too small diameter for 2,5L engine.

I've heard removing the cat's on those v6's actually makes performance worse, and it was from a somewhat reliable source as he has dealt in v6's for years... My friend bought a 2.5 v6 omega and we got talking to the fella about it, he was thinking of putting it in an old school car and the guy told him if he did, don't remove the cats, don't know if it's because of the loss in back pressure or what, but I trust the guy and would say he knows his stuff in all honesty.

Most probably it looks similar to Nexia, so You have to make a new engine mount (like in Calibra), and the wiring, meaning, that You have to connect Daewoo wires wit Opel wires ;) Normal swap :D
