i have asked the same  thing before, it cant be done because its Front Wheel Drive and the Omega is rear. At least thats what i got told :y

There are some daft buggers about.

Its a donk, nothing more.

Bolt a rear wheel drive box to it, sort the wiring out (immobilisier might be interesting!), fab some mounts, re-position the turbo and away you go.

Probably easier to fit in an Omega due to the room under the bonnet!

Cav and Vectra are FWD and use the same engines as the omega range, bar the TD

Funny we should mention the VXR Lump, helping a mate transplate one to a 06 Corsa some time this month.

Always fancyed sticking a Red top Turbo lump in my old carlton, but one never came up cheap whilst I had her

No - didn't contact them on that

Current plan is going to be a Y32SE with AR35, with all work done before fitting including a compression increase if possible, planning on doing it in 2010 (when I can afford a Y32SE)
