Ive taken the crank from the 3.2 so a piston swap needs doing to accommodate the diffrence in stroke.
These have all been good replies always giving me things to consider.

100% agree with you a standard x30xe is not suitable for forced induction. Ive aready set about strengthening the bottom end with a stronger crank

It will be in an astra yeah.
As far as i know the rear bank runs hot on the V6 with the na application but im hoping to use the engine in a forced induction set up. Im already planning on running a dry sump with the tank located away from the block to keep the oil cooler and an electric water pump to try and increase the flow of the coolant. I was abit suspect on the cutting slots into waterjacket info i found it on an old mig thread.
Really im just looking to make sure i have my cooling on point before i try move the project forward.

Good afternoon all, I read somewhere that the cooling on the x30xe can be improved by cutting slots in the center water jackets to allow water to flow out the block.
Im not 100% what that means if Im honest, has anyone done this or even heard of it?

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! The V6 will hopfully be a 3.1 (X30XE block with a Z32SE crank) being an engineer by trade im going to be trying out a few wierd and wonderfull ideas possible incorprate a few ideas from the calibra DTM. Initally it will stay FWD but i will be toying with the final drive ratio.
