its a hell of a lot more than 20kg. the c20xe flywheel alone is 3kg heavier than a flat x16xe one. | |

Depends on how much it costs somone to weld you a mont up out there. You can do it using Mk II Cav inner CV's and Corsa GSi driveshafts, then your next issue is the Powercap. You need one of those or an adaptor made up so you can fit the inlet pipe off of an X20XEV. You also need to mod the gear linkage and space the gearbox mount out 10mm. If all this costs more than £150 then it might be worth just going for the MTech kit as it all comes in a box ready to go... | |

mtech mounts etc are the most factory looking imo... worth the extra money (imo) | |
