That is an 20XE heaven. Amazing engine that is still reliable and still in high demand. A real testament to the work of these guys is the high class work shop. Great video. Looking forward to seeing the cav again this year.
Fantastic worksop and engines. Great idea to do a video on a flow test on all the different heads and seeing which head would be good for track, road and drag strip. Hope it helps with the touring car too.
Nice Video mate I'm Nasens from South Afriica son based here in the UK now too , nice to see these engines around and popular still, this is a very cool shop
Wow, I saw Nasen was in Manchester not long ago? Am I guessing this is where your based. Your dads car was super fast and would love to see it return again.
Hey mate, that was a few years ago. I'm based out of Milton Keynes. Well the engines been on the shelf since 2010 basically just ready to go. Unfortunately it got to the point we were bending the strut towers on the old T car chassis so we retired it. We also really were on the limit of the fw box's etc. I'm hoping in the next year or so to bring the motor and shell across rebuild it to run at Santapod perhaps
I'm glad you brought up the cometic gasket issues . never again will one of them gaskets go any were near my engine . another great video pal some nice stuff there
Unfortunately I already ordered a new athena, but when this one blows again, im getting a couple of those steel victor reinz ones for sure! That is a pearl of knowledge that you would not get anywhere else! If you could make a video only talking about head gaskets for 20 minutes and showing different examples, I would watch the shit out of that!
I have an Opel Calibra 2.0 16V 4X4 with a C20XE engine and I would love to see a conversion like this in it, how much would it cost to send my engine in and get this beauty back? ;-)
Really interesting stuff as usual.. curious about the shimming the Victor reinz gaskets what thickness can you get from shimmimg it? What way do you setup the layers? What about the elring gasket? What's your feelings on them? I've had anthena push water too
Elring is fine used then an work just aswell. I have ran them upto 1.9mm thick So they come in 4 layers 2 outer 2 inner. So buy 2 gaskets drill out the rivits and assemble 2 out 4 inner.
The best version of the red tops Is a Frankenstein mix and match, very early 20xe coscast block, with flat type lightened fly wheel, and the last of the coscast heads, as there was 3 versions of the head, the early coscast head then the cheaper kuglepourushead version and then the last version when Cosworth was given the contract back to cast the heads
Millington have new XE heads being cast by one of THE names in motorsport, Crosthwaite and Gardiner , and from the Millington site "Cast in LM25 Alloy using the same method, in the same foundry,as the last batch of Coscast type heads to be produced in the late 1990s which proved to be the reliable variant.". I'd suggest a few stiff whiskeys before looking at the price, they're ****ing expensive, even in bare form - I've bought some very nice cars for less!
I had a 1994 cos cast it didn't have a distributor it blanked it ran on coyls a pal from Birmingham sold me it because the red top I had broke timing belt the car had quafe diff and rear disc brakes it was a gsi corsa. Put slot into it sold because cash problem asked 1200. Friend sold it for me . Sed he was buying it for diff. Prick had the cheek to ask for money off almost told him to forget it . Wish I did I don't know if he knew about the engine would try buy it back if I could track the fucker down. Regret it
Naskar Performance will help you out in SA with these engines. One of the best. Say Adam with the twin engine corsa from the UK sent you, he will look after you.

Love your knowledge.. I could listen all day👏

I have never driven a race version of these engines, but I used to love ripping an Astra GTE about great video one love 👊🙏
Cheap to buy, great to drive and really easy to rob. It was a match made in heaven
I remember you advising Mark Feather to split and stack the LEH headgasket when we built my c20let mk4 van in 2006 👌 cool video 🙏
I'm glad you brought up the cometic gasket issues . never again will one of them gaskets go any were near my engine . another great video pal some nice stuff there
What's the Problem with this Gaskets? 🙈 Never heard of it..
The guy here in South Africa you talking about is Nasen Padayachee he’s work shop name is Nazkar performance
I know Nasen and his family well. His son lives in the UK. An we speak regularly. One of the top guys in the world on these engines for sure 🙏

I was well intrigued with you talking about the head gaskets
It's nice you have a talent and God give you a country to do that I have this engine but its in horn Africa, I love your work shop

If you have all that already then you don't need a conversion. Just tuning and mods
Amazing, any followup on the Swindon Airflow tests

My dream car is a lotus carlton if I ever get one would love to get the engine done like the amazing engine s in this vid
These are mostly naturaly aspirated high compression engines and the omega has a turbo 3 liter not in the same league at all

Melhor motor !!!
Can you please link to the Wictor Reinz gasket?
From which car is the Block for the 2.5 l conversations 🤔 have problems to understand it. Greets from germany
they use z22xe from Omega/frontera
Wenn du ja weniger reden würdest, könnte der Spezi auch mal was sagen..😉
Where can I find such workshops around PE or should I say South Africa?

Will a zafira vxr engine bolt straight in to combo your the wizzard
What year combo? If it’s pre facelift like Corsa C shape then yes.
@@TwinEngineCorsa yess it is 👍 with the vxr box or different mountings
You explained the 2.5 poorly, what is the crank out of?
Custom Made. 💰💰💰
here in brazil there is a guy making a 2.5 as well, 2.4 crank with custom pistons
Мужики привет, подскажите чем отличается блок x20xev от z20leh?
Как минимум у блока leh есть маслофорсунки. Балансирные валы и плита жесткости но это не так важно.
@@User-imerator5 по-моему у z20leh нет балансирных валов
I wanna contact this person and order a red top for my astra f with itbs and all that around 250hp maybe more but I need shipping to Greece 🇬🇷
