That CSL is a nice relaxing car to be driven in.

Looks really good as well, especially when overtaking it.

[wizz72]

Sorry to hear that Owen
Are replacement Noble engines easy to come by and at what sort of cost. I see a 3l duratec is about 3.6k

Could you use one of these and just bolt on the turbo's or are the internals totally different?

Going 2.5 to 3 is pretty simple. Needs new brackets and a few bits and bobs.....
...and a 6 speed box & M400 linkage....and some T28's instead of T25's.....and an MBE ECU and Loom. Gulp. not that simple after all !

of course there's always the lightweight and lots of room for cooling 4 cyl option(s)..

This might just squeeze in Adrian

and with a bit of messing about...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/COSWORTH-OPEL-V

I think i'll be going for the 3.0 duratec tho !

[mr noble]

Won't the 4 litre fit in!?

Well, with the clam relocated to make a bit more room in the garage...


The engine's just about ready to lift !

[oggs]

Hope you get it sorted out without to much hassle mate

[gadgeroonie]

Mr Noble - I checked the link

https://sslrelay.com/s139675512.oneandoneshop.co.uk/sess/utn;jsessionid=1544a962073e497/shopdata/index.shopscript


it doesn't seem to work ??

That was a link to the 4 litre duratec engine on the same pages as the 3.0 that worty linked to above.



What are you going to do then Owen?

Are you having a new 3.0 duratec and T28's? Are you going to pop on some additional goodies too?


Let me know if your planning a roller and map day and I'll come too. (if MF is going to be on hand )

G

[obes]

It'll have 6 cylinders and be forced aspirated.
details still being worked on !!

[lawrence5]

Sorry to hear about the engine Owen...... myself I'd consider pushing it into a layby and poking matches through the window

Hope the new and improved Owen-mobile will be on the road soon....

[V6GTO]

Here you go, Gadgaroony, try this. It's the Cologne 4ltr V6. It must be bloody torquey coz it pushes out 205PS whereas the smaller 3ltr pushes 220PS.
