Opel manta gte7/28/2023 Really depends how much time/money and effort you want to put into it. Lots of other things can be made to fit and i know of a few people sticking odd motors in currently but they are all having to do a lot of work to get them up and running Would fit in using your exh manifold and has got to be the cheapest upgrade option (if you can find a good sri130 engine)Ĭurrently driving an sri130 hatch around as a daily and its much nicer than the 1.8 although not quite your 150bhp mark ![]() Or you could always go for the 8v vaux engine from an sri130 either on injection or even bike carbs. If you can't find an injection tank you can go to bike carbs, on an XE you need to front mount the dizzy or remove the heater box and fit something smaller, but you do get a 20-25bhp jump to balance out the cost and hassle. Yes its been done a lot before, but there is a reason for this, its a really easy conversion and a damn good engine that looks at home in the manta engine bay. You use your existing engine mounts, sump, water pipes, gearbox and even exhaust system (might need an adapter for size from manifold to system) ![]() If you can find an injection tank then the simplest option as you have a 1.8 manta is the late C20XE dispak on injectionĪll you need is an engine £300-400, a rwd exh manifold £180, a clutch £150, a power cap, an electric rad fan and a fuel pump with new feed and return fuel lines Getting hold of an injection tank is by far the hardest part with hatchbacks as so many of the tanks have rusted out now. Your biggest problem with a manta hatch will be if you want to swap over to injection.
