Some trickery was already used; when swapping an engine it can only be 25% larger than the biggest original factory engine, and 20% more powerful than the most powerful factory engine. So that is the GSi Corsa at 1598cc and 74kw. This allows for an engine with max. 1997.5cc and 88.8kw. The engine size is scraping it at 1998cc, but inspection officers were lenient enough to let that 0.5 pass. The power of the stock 20NE is 87kw, which fits nicely, but not much room for more. (20NE and 20SEH blocks are identical, but because of the different pistons and other thingamajigs it makes 97kw which goes over the limit, so a 20NE block was used to hide the fact while still retaining the high compression.) The 20XE flies way past at 115kw and can't be made to even look legal due to the DOHC head. |
