My Project 4age20v

[ghosthunter]

And lose all instrument cluster functionality... have to put up with an AC compressor that's finicky and hard to maintain... as well as needing to frankenstein all the mounts and cooling system? No thanks.

200 to 220 hp stock. And much more with simple mods alone.

With no idle / cold /warm / hot engine issues.

You can re-use your current A/C compressor.

Opel actually makes good engines?

well, better power plant for me means a more powerful opel engines. as far as i can remember there is a 2.0 liter opel engine...

for me if the concern is really the expensive parts, then go for the big body or love life and slap that 4age. from suspension to engine, the big body or love life is cheaper to maintain.

*mfo kamusta na auto mo?okay na ba problem niyan?
*renzo pasok budget mo na 50k engine swap na yan to 4efte.hehe..

Not for the SR20, maybe... DETs hate traffic.

Which is nowhere near as good as a Toyota or a Nissan powerplant. Ecotecs aren't great engines unless you modify them... A Toyota 20V or Nissan SR20 will perform great straight out of the box.

Maybe he likes the look and feel of the Astra? To each their own.

pinagawa nyo po ba tong bucket seats nyo?

nice ride for the TS!

i understand your purpose for changing your engine to a more maintainable one. i'm also a student, ang hirap talaga kapag ikaw ang gumagastos para sa auto mo, kahit sa gas lang. nahihiya din akong humihingi ng financial support sa parents ko although they are willing naman to support.

ignore those people who are saying about the founder of Opel. it's your car. nabili mo na yan, kahit ano pang gawin mo dyan its up to you as long as hindi ka nakakaperwisyo ng ibang motorista.

Hi bro, maraming salamat, parehas tayo ng situation, kahit na libre gas ko, may hiya pa rin akong humingi, kasi hindi naman pinupulot ang pera sa panahon ngayon.

Your right it's my car ako naman may gusto nito. Wala naman akong naaabala at napeperwisyo kaya ok na ok na ako dito sa auto.

[mfo]

bro mfo,

thanks for the offer nga pala to help. uunahin ko muna siguro aesthetic mods, may napagtanungan din ako na medyo malaki gastos in swapping engines since pati brakes, fuel pumps etc. etc. papalitan.

And, syempre diba you won't know if the work is perfect or what so ... susunod na lang yung engine swap pagkatapos ng exterior/interior upgrades ko. Budget ko lang din eh nasa 50k eh. Umpisahan ko na siguro this week yung pagaayos.

I`ll rely on my stock engine first, bro. With that ... i`ll see the real horses under my hood. Depende rin kasi sa driver, hehehehe.

Goodluck on your project bro.

Yess bro, basta pag aralan mo yan Kung saan ka makaka save and magiging ok ung car dun ka

An Astra isn't a very fast, very expensive or very luxurious car. In Europe, it's roughly equivalent to a Corolla. It was only more expensive here because of taxes.

Uh... more reliable and durable? Who knows. I've personally never heard of Toyota silvertops breaking their crankshafts... old Opels are generally not the most reliable cars in the world... which is why Daewoos sucked so bad... because they were mostly old Opels...

Personally, I would have gone with an SR20DET... ...

If we were in Germany, I could have engine swapped it with an Opel Astra opc engine instead. But I opted for a toyota kasi kung Opel engine din ipapalit ko dito, edi mahirapan nanaman ako. I wanted an sr20det sir niky, di kasya sa budget.

Exactly sir niky. A toyota engine would perform great straight out from the box.

[gearspeed]

This is a rare swap.

[gearspeed]

Last last week dumaan ako dun sa fastlane meron akong nakita naka Opel Tigra kinakabitan ng 4EFTE engine.

[digitel]

Sir this was sold sa kin as is 1 pair.

Bro, eh di dalawa yun? 1 pair eh,

Ako din sir mfo studyante katulad ni crave, pare-parehas pala talaga tayo nahihiya humingi ng pera noh?Ahahaha! Pero ako I don't really have my own car, I am just using our Hi Lander for my trips kasi wala naman gumagamit eh, minsan lang gamitin ng dad ko. Pero sa maintenance dad ko lagi ang gumagastos hehehe. Good luck on your project sir! ganda pa din naman yan kahit toyota engine, tama mas maganda na yan naisip mo for your future!



good luck on your project! Drive safely!
