i know some people have put the vauxhall red top in their cars, just wondered how difficult or awkward it would be and how long itd take?

[TheDanBurgess]

How long is a piece of string?

[stevo67]

A lot of work fabricating engine mounts for a start & quite costly.You may be better off with a vts engine and turbo/throttle bodies etc.

Its piss easy if it fits.

[Gandi699]

Might as well fit a tricked up VTS unit.

Need a lot of welding on engine mounts to be done, ALso need to cut out the saxo/106 gearbox mount housing plate and weld the corsa b one in.

There's much more needed, i'd personally just put a VTS engine in, my VTS keeps up with my mates C20XE.

Love it when people underestimate the VTS engines

Not very difficult is it..
I've got multiple custom mounts so I can slot in different XU engines into my racecar. Was one of the easy jobs on the car to be honest. Obviously the key is using someone who has a clue to what they are doing.

Exactly :y: As people these days won't have a clue what to do :)

but i'm also sure you need the front of a saxo/106 moved forward by 3/4 inches due to clearance issues

thanks for everyones advice, think il just stick to a vts engine in instead :L would it be a straight swap in a furio or do you still have to make new engine mounts etc?

[jeffchiz]

will go straight in to a furio

[ash_hart]

will go straight in to a furio
