Nice, best of both worlds, after seeing the same old 2L engine from my old CDX in my mates Astra and wondering how it pulls a miggy, this seems like the only Astra engine that's gonna do well! Good work.

So you saved a good 100+ pounds off the weight of the car and bumped up a healthy 50+ hp... man that right there might make the MIG one hell of a nice car to throw around corners etc...

I have seen one with a Toyota Supra 2JZ motor... inline 6 3.0L putting out a solid 500hp at the rear wheels... now talk about a sneak attack...

But hey nice motor m8!!!  :o

Now what did it cost you to drop that in there...?

so what would it take to get a LET in there? or a ZLET?

I guess with the ZLET there'd be more work involved, what with the emisions stuff.

afaik the mounts are a straight swap, you'd need the engine loom at a guess and just plug and play pretty much into the omega body loom but i'm not sure as i'v never done a later engine 2.2/2.0 into an old 2.0/v6 body!

Would have made an interesting Turbo Project for you Alex.

Decent Miggy with a possible 300bhp transplant. ::)
