I've always been a fan of the c20xe lump mine has the coscast head I found out when I rebuilt my engine

[@benkay8295]

Looking and sounding fantastic. Can not wait to see this being driven properly again.

[@tigra8559]

Thanks to you,we can see XE jewelry that we would never see on our life! At least me lol, hats off 👌

[@TwinEngineCorsa]

Our pleasure pal!

[@speedy008]

I'm from Brazil and I'm following your videos, because I just bought a c20xe to mount on my opel chevette.😜

[@mattpierce4158]

Works Swindon XE engines had the head spun round 180 degrees to bring the inlet manifold to the front of a FWD car

[@TwinEngineCorsa]

Early engines dident. They where the normal way around. An with this being the first ever one. Hence it being the normal way.

[@kells77]

That was on the later super touring cars not this one As said above

[@vx.calibre2901]

@@TwinEngineCorsa I remember a Cav Calibre with a Swindon XE. One of those sounds that before you see it, you knew Brian was coming🤣

[@kadettcforumaustria9817]

Looking at the engine.. and nothing compares to you runs in the back ❤❤❤❤

[@supremecamels7736]

I'd probably check that depleted uranium plate isn't radioactive before mounting it on your wall mate 😅

[@sidunn1634]

Looks a clean build

[@0_I_Like_Cars_0]

I was helping with the cav at Croft if I’m going to be honest it’s a tight fit to get under

[@peterthornton2396]

Nice to see an XE sat next to my old friend the YB ❤

[@mikespeedyfpv321]

Good luck great work 👍🏻

5:18 reducing the amount of teeth on the cam shaft pulleys, and the crank pulley (accordingly) reduces the speed the belt has to move for every crank revolution. In short, you can run higher revs without stressing the timing belt, seeing as less teeth means a slower belt. Edit to add, smaller pulleys makes setting up timing harder, seeing as one tooth on the cam pulley, on a smaller pulley now equates to more degrees, which is why small pulleys aren't on all engines, ease of timing.

Lovely car! Brings back found memories of watching the BTCC at croft. Was there a video of it on the rollers with its new engine or am I imagining it?!

[@nicopotgieter453]

Very cool, thank you for sharing. The 281hp. Is it flywheel hp or wheel hp. And what fuel did you use?

[@NickAtsidas]

Love the video! Touring cars is something special... I would love to see how the slided throtles is the inside because I have design on a cad my own slided throtle body but no idea how the hell is inside and sadly I don't have the resources (and it's blody expensive) to test make them.

[@paulcarter7473]

looking good, will you guys be racing at Croft in August?

[@marinelaldea9522]

Sunteți cei mai buni Respect

[@RGBSHM]

I thought the Swindon engine had a reverse head with air inlet on the front?

[@callum4035]

Is this the actual cavalier that John got pushed of buy Steve soper?

[@rafaelnascimento8528]

So faltou uma ECU Fuel Tech

[@markmall7142]

They did use a smaller cam.pulley

[@TwinEngineCorsa]

Yes they did

[@cogboy302]

Last time I checked Ballymena and the rest of Northern Ireland was still part of the UK. 😉

[@peterthornton2396]
