The throttle on these engines are actually a roller barrel not a slide throttle. Great video and lovely car.

After all these years, finally some closeups for us to drool over... Thanks!

Simply wow!! Thanks for filming that and provided such detailed insight. Great video

It's good to see how far you have come matey. Didn't realise you was on ere. Well done and all the best in your future

See how the last shell still had the tunnel and knotchs in the rear. For RWD set up. Great engine design too. Thank you for sharing

Absolutely amazing to see this cavalier. Inspired a lot of ideas of mine when I did bits n pieces to my gsi. Loved that livery aswell. Looking forward to hopefully seeing this car in the next race.

Great footage.

lovely to drive, special memories

Fantastic video. Feels like Car And Car Conversions magazine but on KZread. I love technical car vids!

I seen the white and yellow one a few weeks ago at croft what a car it did break down though but the vectra did well

Great video. You were expressing surprise that Swindon used a standard C20XE head and block, but the Super Touring regulations this car was built to dictated that they *had* to be. Of course they are extensively modified internally, but Vauxhall/Swindon were obliged to use a production head and block as the basis of the race engine. An interesting bonus if you're interested; Vauxhall used Swindon Racing engines from the Astra MK2 days through to '98. For '98 until '01 Vauxhall switched to using Speiss developed engines in the Vectra.

Love this car !

awesome tour and great info

Beautiful car👌

Love the comparison between 001 & the last shell and Swindon Rev head. As always mate pucker vid & live the tec specs and info break down. Many thanks Sid

Appreciate that mate

I think the rules stated you are required to use a production based casting .However they would of recieved raw castings to start with. I think that last iteration used a 85mm stroke instead of 86 but that would be an intersting detail tk confirm. The stich welding is a better way as youll induce way more heat into the parent material if ran long runs.

Love the rims. The ones in the video and in the thumbnail.

Great vid 👍 love Ur channel, can't beat a bit of old skool

That’s truest beautiful. What a dream to be able to get up close and personal to these cars. Thank you. It’s a shame there isn’t a lot of info online regarding the Swindon Engines. I’ve had a look but haven’t found anything substantial. Sorry if it is in plain sight, but I genuinely want to know more about these having owned one.

Do you not fancy building your own reversed heads for the corsa

Great

What was power and torque difference with the reverse head engine at all? Great video again guys

The reverse was a packaging upgrade rather than a power upgrade .Though as time went by more HP was inevitably made but due to other attributes.

I don't see difference betwin stock cavalier and this one... 😅 Thanks for share 😉

Per l epoca era già venti anni avanti...!!! 👏👏💪1⃣🏅

Who was the first guy to get 300hp on an xev 2.0 atmospheric Road engine??

No 🤣🤣 coscast head where developed ^ made by cosworth

I always wonder why FWD cars have their engines in front of the wheel axle. It is quite bad for weight distribution. It can be done by "just" turn around the whole engine gearbox unit and put the wheels more foreward so the car starts to look the same as RWD cars. (Obviously, when done on an existing unit the wheels turn the wrong way).

That was btcc cars were btcc cars! i think toca has capped a lot now with the current btcc cars, but then again there is no manufacture support now at all.

BMW E36 please! ;)

without even seeing the vid yet, no not a reverse engine ... a reversed head which in raceing is not that uncommon :) nice content tho :))

the head just looks like it put-on back to front. the cams are reversed

My guess that could handle between 300bhp and 700bhp with tyst chassis as street cars can't handle more then the chassis can handle

if im right they turned the heads around due to a rule change.

Had to stop watching video giving me the shakes
