Actually, I did some research and found that you're incorrect.

First, the 2.2L Version in Europe and America are the same but I believe inside the actual engine bay, they face the opposite way.

www.gm.com wrote:The current 2.2L of the Ecotec is available in the following vehicles:

Chevy - Cobalt, Malibu and Cavalier
Pontiac - Grand Am and Sunfire
Saturn - L-Series, Ion and Vue
Opel/Vauxhall - Vectra, Zafira and Speedster

http://www.gm.com/automotive/gmpowertrain/events/racing/


Second, The Vauxhall VX with the 2.2L, yes has over 200 HP (240 HP and 305Nm of Torque) but it is supercharged.

www.autointell-news.com wrote:Under the long bonnet of the VX Lightning is a new version of Vauxhall's all aluminium 2.2 ECOTEC engine, reworked with a supercharger to produce a maximum power of 240hp and 305Nm of torque.

Hope this comes out useful and this has educated some of you (as it has me).

...just checked out the pics. looks like a great perferming car, but i do not like the styling. at all. But, diff strokes for diff folks. i was expecting a 3rd gen looking car. the vauxhall reminded me of the earlier model jettas.

I think i can answer this one, since i have a vx220!

The 2.2 ecotec in my car (there are two main versions of the vx220, one with the 2.2 and one 2.0 turbocharged), is very similar to the US 2.2 ecotec. The differences are that it has fly by wire throttle and a different ECU.

The 2.0 turbo vx220 has a totally different engine called the ZLET which is cast iron (rather than all alloy) and quite an old design.

Cheers, Paul.

So that proves my statement earlier to be correct.

Why are you trying to get a gasket set for an vauxhall ecotec anyways?

If you want a brand new one, you can easily get one from GM (stock or the copper head gasket set) or you can get one through Cometic.

If Vauxhalls are J-bodys than a Neon is an F-Body
