High Spec dry sumped C20XE engine
Now I'm building a Honda powered car, my old C20XE is for sale. This has had a huge amount spent on it over the years and a lot of development
work done!
As a result, I'd love to sell it as a complete "unit", but will be splitting it down shortly - I'll post prices up separately
for that.
The engine has been as near bullet proof as can be, in my Westfield, for a good few years now. Is perfectly docile and tractable when you want it to
be. Yet when you "give it some", the car is insanely fast!
Vauxhall C20XE Specification:
Bottom End
Block, 1990/91 Over-bored for 87.5 mm pistons, giving 2069 cc displacement.
Crank, late 'eighties "early" type - this is generally preferred in higher spec engines as it's lighter, better shaped and
better finished.
Heavy duty ACL main bearings fitted
Heavy duty ARP main bearing bolts.
Redline Steel con rods, installed with heavy duty big end bearings and ARP2000 big end bolts. (These are the higher performance versions of
ARP's own heavy duty bolts).
Omega high compression 87.5mm pistons.
SBD twin trough dry-sump pan
SBD dry-sump oil pump blanking plate including oil inlet connection.
SBD dip stick/block breather delete kit installed.
New cam belt pulleys and cam belt installed at last refresh, cam belt back plate removed.
Water pump replaced when engine originally rebuilt.
Top End
Head, 1991, v. lightly ported and polished. Central oilway sleeved and waterways treated with ceramic coating system to prevent porosity.
QED Race springs, (twins) fitted.
Titanium valve spring retainers fitted.
Lightweight steel one piece tappets (non-hydraulic) shimmed and fitted.
QED Q450V cams installed.
Alloy vernier cam pulleys fitted.
Cam cover modified and re-powder coated. (Cam belt cover rear lip removed - allows more clearance below bonnet, breather and oil cap openings fitted
with turned alloy bungs.)
Ancillaries
QED Lightweight alternator pulley
Lightweight (45 Amp?) alternator.
SBD Lightweight alternator mounting kit.
SBD/Jenvey inlet manifold with cold start bypass and coolant self-bleed take off and fuel rail suitable for AN fittings.
Jenvey SF individual taper throttle bodies. Inc. 90mm trumpets.
Reverie manufactured carbon fibre 30mm stepped air filter back plate. (Flat alloy back plate available)
Caterham carbon fibre air filter cover - significantly reduces extreme intake noise.
Bosch Astra VXR injectors.
Crank sensor
Water temp sensor
Air temp sensor
OEM Beru ignition leads
Coil pack.
SBD coil pack mount - locates coil pack on rear of head.
MBE 967 ecu with map
Engine loom for above.
Adjustable Fuel pressure regulator.
Turbosport ultralight weight aluminium flywheel, fitted with ARP flywheel bolts. (circa 2.8 kg without ring gear), note, it does come with ring gear
fitted though!
Helix heavy duty clutch, (plate and cover, probably needs a new plate though, by now)
Pace three stage (two scavenge/one pressure) dry sump pump and mounting brackets.
SBD tall/narrow style dry sump tank.
Mocal remote oil filter mount.
Mocal hoses and fittings required to plumb in the DS system. (New hoses may be required if you locate components differently. But, the fittings may be
reused if carefully removed).
£5995
Found an old plot on line from a session at Ric Wood's, pre dry sump and with QED450 cams instead of Q450V's
clicky.
Thanks to a crank sensor issue on the day, I was also 1500 rpm short of the red line!
Please get in touch if you need any further info.

This is a cracking engine and has all the right bits.
I've seen it and it went very well 
Somebody get it bought, It'd be a shame to see it split...

Thanks Perksy! Yeah, breaks my heart to split it really.
The plan was to convert back to wet sump and offer the dry sump gear as a package. (Tank, hoses, pump, DS sump pan etc) After having one last go at
selling it complete.
Will probably start the tear down just after the weekend.

Just a thought,
Have you considered advertising it on Uphill racers ?
One of lads on there might be able to give it a good home or know somebody who might

Hi,
Looking at £1500 for the complete DS set up:
SBD twin trough dry-sump pan
SBD dry-sump oil pump blanking plate including oil inlet connection.
Pace DS pump - serviced/refreshed by Pace two years ago
Dip stick/breather blanking plate for block.
Powder Coated C20XE cam cover with sealed (by aluminium bungs) oil filler cap and breather ports.
SBD DS oil tank
Mocal Remote oil filter mount
Mocal oil Inlet, return and scavenge pipes as fitted to Westfield.
I'd take £1400 and a cast aluminium type SBD/QED style wet sump in part exchange.
