Its the same dimensions as the 2.0 I think. I think the engine is a longer stroke only, same bore size to 2.0, have to find specs. | |

Its got more torque at lower revs and a higher peak torque than the red cap, power quoted at 147 at 5800 rpm, so its less powerful, but its less peaky, having seen it in vx220's in a dyno report in a magazine it makes more than that, but then again most Vaux/Opel do. You would not have to rev it as much, but this would warrant a clever set of gear ratios, you could pull a high final drive because of all the torque and light weight, otherwise low gearing its going to be swerving all over the road like a Maestro Turbo. | |
