well im not 2 sure about the ecotec but if you were to use the red top c20xe out of an earlier calibra astra or cav then you need a new exhaust and new hubs and shafts an ectoec pipe and adapter or powercap as the sfi box doesnt fit. The red top engine is also alot easier to tune for more power altho they may have a high milage on them now but a rebuild can sort that out and then they will go for ages

Do a search on this topic mate, there hundreds of threads on this.
One thing though, DO NOT USE THE ECOTEC, go for the more powerful Red Top
