Re: Redtop into a late Ecotec Cavalier SRI

Hi you can use the xev starter charger loom which is seperate to the engine loom. The xev starter and charger loom is better than the xe starter charger loom as you can earth the xe on the block aswell as from gearbox to body so you get two earths it's what's been done on my xev to xe conversion.

Re: Straight exhaust

If there are no silencers then yes the gases will escape much faster and it will be a lot louder, depending on the size of the tail pipe, but when I had a straight through exhaust on my old 1.8 auto, it made it slower and it didn't sound right. Maybe on powerful engines it makes a difference but fo...

No sign of a wide ratio F20 in TIS, but here is a breakdown of the F20CR and F18WR gearboxes fitted to the Mk3 Cavalier. F18 WR 5th gear ratio = 0.74:1 - teeth values = 32/43 F18 CR 5th gear ratio = 0.89:1 - teeth values = 33/37 F20 CR 5th gear ration = 0.89:1 - teeth values = 31/35 And for complet...
