9.500RPM OPEL Kadett C20Xe Swap || 300Hp/730Kg ITB Sound!!

[@yetkinkaracal3346]

My father told me that my grandfather used to have an Opel Kadett. It produced only 55hp and it was the car my dad first drove. Maybe its because of this fact that I adore this car and the engine sound it produces...

[@leccybadger]

In the UK, I recall these rotted away to nothing and were a bit more show than go. Seeing these beautiful coupes again with the proper power makes me smile. Lots.😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁🎉🎉

Tremendous! This car is Always a favorite when it shows up in the TopXX compilations. Sounds like a bike if you close your eyes, driven 11/10ths every time, screaming to redline. If they had built cars like this in the 80s and 90s across the board, ugh, it pains me to even think on what we'd be missing out on.

Love it. I don't think we got these in the UK, certainly I only ever see them in videos of historics events, but they're such a cool shape. I'm in support of any car engine that can hit 9000rpm, too!

[@johncoops6897]

They were sold as the Vauxhall Chevette in the United Kingdom from 1975 to 1984. I think they might have been locally assembled in the plants at Bedfordshire, Luton, Cheshire and Ellesmere Port using Opal parts, like how the Holden Gemini was built in Australia.

[@DM-wp9vq]

Wow!!! Such a damn quick, great handling, and great looking car! A bit much on the body roll, and personally I want any car I mod to have a full and fully usable interior for daily driver and GT duties, but it's really quite perfect in every way. Looovvvvee that car!

[@gothicpagan.666]

Bit unrealistic, Honda unit with variable timing and In. geometry along with an alloy block has to be the best option up to 2.0Ltr's on a production basis. If your talking purpose built competition power units, then thats not so straight forward😁

[@Sheriffsteifbein]

​@@gothicpagan.666In Germany these engines are very popular for building, just like the 2.0l VW engines. Both are wonderful engines in racing. But you're right, Honda engines have a lot more potential :)

In Australia we have these cars but they are a Holden Gemini, and they had Isuzu instead of Opel engines. I have a 1979 4door sedan which I plan to build with a K24 and BRZ 6spd I got. It was my 2nd car and I have had it for 18 years 😅🤗

[@HillClimbMonsters]

Gotta keep the little gem ;)

[@Blanchy10]

I think they are Isuzus sold in various countries via GM?

[@swanny812]

I didn't know that! I'm like wow that looks like a Gemini!

Das wären ja nochmals 30PS mehr, als Opel selbst im Jahre 1988 für die DTM aus dem C20XE geholt hat! Ich hatte lange Zeit einen Kadett GSi 16V mit dieser Motorisierung, selbst im Serientrimm eine ordentlich schnelle Maschine. Vermisse ich sehr!

[@SpeedandPower]

1988 war das erste Jahr in dem der C20XE von Opel werksseitig im Rennsport eingesetzt wurde. Kissling holte ca. 270 PS aus dem Motor. Von da an wurde kontinuierlich die Leistung gesteigert. Der Höhepunkt war die 99er STW Saison als Opel bis zum Schluss um den Titel känpfte. Leistung damals 335 bis 340 PS in den letzten Rennen. Wohlgemerkt war lt. Reglement max. 8500 U/min erlaubt. Bis heute eine unglaubliche Leistung und nie mehr getoppt. Die Motoren wurden von Spiess aus Ditzingen entwickelt und aufgebaut. In UK wurde der XE auf ähnlichem Niveau von Swindon getunt.
