WOW!! Most Powerful 2.0 in the world??

Well if it's not the most powerful 2.0 16v engine then it surly is the most powerful C20LET engine (Vauxhall Red Top). Not sure how many of you will remember this car but I posted a vid of it when it was finished being built for the first time video can be found here:-

Well, as I love Calibra's (some wont agree why lmao) I always keep my eye on Qrew to see what this mad mechanic has been up to. Well Mad Mechanic is an understatement lol. He's not only created an absolute monster with his Calibra, it's running more BHP than mine, on top of what he already had

The size of the Turbo is emense but he's running 2.6 bar of boost lol. This next video shows you having a first run or 2 on the rollers, there is a graph to the side of the bhp it made that day which is actually the power AT THE WHEELS but it's actually 100bhp more than that at the flywheel (805BHP )

This another reason why I love Calibra's, the good old red top is one of the very very few 2.0ltrs that can take that power without going POP! I'd love a go lol.

1000hp my leon would kill it

is there a build thread for this anywhere??
cause it would be good to see how he did the rwd conversion!

That engine and the XE are the best things to come out of Vauxhall by a long shot. Impressive but there are a handful of more powerful SR20DET's though.

He rotated the engine and fitted the M32 gearbox from a Chevvy then just used a VTS locked rear diff and bobs ya uncle.
