ziemniak_PL · Post by **ziemniak_PL** » Tue Oct 23, 2007 1:51 pm

Greetings to everybody

I don't know why have I forgotten about this forum - finally I'm here and will start reading all the infos

But ... to the subject

This is my 1996 Daewoo Nexia used_to_be GLE 1.5 8v

Engine:
- 2.5 24v (C25XE)
- Intake manifold - from MV6 (3.0)
- Custom cold air intake
- Inlet camshafts from 3.0
- Custom Exhaust manifold
- Bigger fuel injectors
- Bigger fuel distributor

Transmision:
- D16
- Clutch - probably from C20LET + XE Flywheel

Wheels/Tyres/Brakes:
- Vectra 2000 Front discs/calipers (ATE 256mm)
- 15" Dotz_something rims

- 195/50/R15 Goodyear Excellence/Pirelli P7000

Others:
- Most of exhaust yet too small ( after 2.0 8v )
- Some exterior styling
- Rusty hood ;P

Performance: Last 6time on Dyno - 192HP ONLY with custom exhaust manifold. Now should be c.a. 205-210 with GOOD exhaust

Don't have the engine for long, so many things still have to be done, and a Dyno test also

Hi
The project will be developing all the time, cause I'm not going to sell this car ever

I'll drive it to its very end :P Surely I'll keep You posted if something is going to change

PS As far as i read, I see that You have many problems with parts for Woos in Your countries

In my country there is A LOT of them. And Opel Parts too ...

in my country also there is nothing more than woo and opel but u can easially find parts for the stock engines which come in our lanos and nubira and leganza, 1.5L, 1.6L, 2.0L but not the V6 engines,

i found 2.5L and 3.0L V6 engines but i will never find a spare part for it if something is wrong, at least the timing belt and pullies

Sweet!!! I always knew 2.5 V6 would fit with no problems, as it does in Kadett/Astra

Nice work mate!

Witam na forum i zapraszam do miłej zabawy. Ciekawy masz wpis na fotce w podpisie, panie kierowniku

Yep, I got to the same thing - if it fits to Kadett, it has to fit into Nexia :P The only thing I was worried about was this thingie ( don't know how to call it in english

).

PS Dzieki

Yes, the 3.0 V6 variant came in Opel Omega MV6, sold in North America as Cadillac Catera

mocpac · Post by **mocpac** » Mon Oct 29, 2007 8:56 pm

year 97-98? 200hp?

GsiTurbo · Post by **GsiTurbo** » Tue Oct 30, 2007 12:04 am

1997-2002 Catera will do. You may want to look for 2000+ motor, as previous years had a headgasket issue (GM recall). These motors are of the interfering type, so same timing belt replacement schedule as with 1.6 and 2.0 motors.

I have a tranny from Nexia, so the one from Nubira also has to fit

You only have to put ther flat flywheel from XE

Don't remember why - something didn't want to fit
