And thanks everyone for helping out even tho I was a pain haha , I live in essex anyone know were I could try a vx at all?? And vxr , I like the adrenaline and accelleration so think what people have said on here compared to astra think I will still go for vx , idea on engine swap and dont know if its possible but engine idea was the rb26 as some have v8's or would that idea be a no no or people dont for a reason haha

[LY_Scott]

but dunno where I would be able to find a vx220 to try or even sit in

Go look at one that is for sale? Someone from here will go with you if you arrange something and ask. Its normal practice, we're a good bunch really if a bit cynical. Don't take it to heart.

Haha wish was there now lol , as said tho money isnt an option if its a certain amount for a decent vx220 turbo then thats what it will be , wouldnt mind vxr vx220 but bit too much for me haha

Dear lord.

Edit: There are tried and tested alternatives with bags of power. I don't even know if that would fit. Are you an engineer?

You will be someway off a VXT for 6-7k unless you buy damaged and do it up yourself. This is a minefield though unless you know what you're looking at.

Anything is possible given enough time, money and resources!

The two extra cylinders in-line might be a problem though.... square peg...round hole.

Replace all your "Cannots" with "How cans"?

Oh right ok I will look into it if not would the boot be able to be modified for it to be possible or not really lol

[G-Bob]

It depends which way you mount it. If it goes long ways then you could cut-away some of the boot, but if it goes sideways then it would probably involve a new sub-frame to accomodate it.

This question is out of my pay grade. Gut feeling says it needs to be transversly mounted and its too fecking big. I've been wrong before though...many times.

I sense Bob's up for this.
