V6 TuningThe GM V6 engines are super-silky smooth and rev like turbines (if allowed) but to be honest they just do not seem to have the 'punch' that you would expect. Extensive analysis of this problem indicates that these engines have an inherent 'breathing' problem. |

Also these engines are fitted with an extremely heavy flywheel; some 15 kgs. This is because the V6 units are marketed world-wide and for some overseas emissions e.g. the USA, in order to comply with these stringent regulations they must have the ability to idle as low as 425 rpm! However, in Europe we do not require this low idle, so we are able to offer lightweight flywheels with a huge weight reduction. This vastly improves the throttle response and greatly enhances the engine's acceleration curve. |
| Therefore we have developed a range of components aimed specifically at resolving these problems. They are available as separate parts or alternatively we have grouped them into several performance packages. | ![]() |
Best performance improvements will be obtained on a vehicle fitted with a full sports exhaust system and a 200 CPI sports cat for maximum exhaust gas flow. Additional items can be added to our CS Tuning Packages, which are now applicable to Vectra B (2.5/3.0), Calibra, Cavalier and Omega V6 models. |

Courtenay can now offer you a brand new 3.0 V6 in exchange for your 2.5 V6 unit. This gives you an instant 40bhp increase, but much more importantly for a road car, it gives the driver a generous 35lb/ft of torque increase and instantaneous throttle response. |
| This conversion really plays out the old adage "there is no substitute for cubic capacity." Our conversion also includes a brand new 3.0 V6 engine - price fitted from £4095. Click Here to see the Power Graph for 3.0 V6 compared to 2.5 V6 |

| We now offer the 3.2 V6 engine transplant into 2.5 V6 Vectra B from £5695 using a new engine. At the time of transplant we can also offer head re-working, sports camshafts, lightweight flywheel or any of our other tuning components to compliment the conversion. |

| Courtenay Sport CS10 will give approximately a 10% improvement in both torque and brake horsepower - right across the board! It comprises of a head, which has been overhauled with new guides if necessary, and new stem seals. The valves are also renewed if necessary but in any event are reprofiled in the stem and the head. The ports are reprofiled (not merely opened out) and the seats recut with compound angles. The ports and combustion chambers are then not polished, but sandblasted specifically to take away the polishing effects of the machining work. This has a major influence on improving the torque and fuel economy (another bonus we did not mention before!). V6 2x12v Heads (consists of both heads, reworked inlet section and front cast exhaust manifold) ... £975 Fitting ... £845 |
| For improved throttle response, our uprated fuel pressure regulator is avalable for 2.5 V6 and 3.0 V6 engined cars and is priced at £60.25 |

| To a large extent, the power and torque out put on any engine is dependent on the volume of air its capable of drawing in. Research shows that the standard GM throttle bodies fitted to most Vauxhall engines are undersized and act as a bottle-neck to the inlet charge, pegging back power and torque. To over come this we dismantle the OE throttle body and use a CNC lathe to enlarge the diameter of the unit, as well as installing a new, bigger throttle disc and low profile spindle to suit. Typically, this results in an increase in full throttle cross sectional area of between 10 and 20%. The result? Improved torque and power outputs usually in the order of 4 to 7 bhp, as well as superior throttle response and a sharper feel to the engine. All throttle body reworking is carried out on an exchange basis. Cavalier, Calibra V6 .... £260.50 Omega 2.5 & 3.0 Twin butterfly .... £352.95 |

We have a new throttle body conversion for the 2.5 Vectra. The throttle body is supplied on an exchange basis. The conversion involves the standard "OE" throttle body being stripped down. The housing is machined out to accommodate a larger throttle butterfly which is attached to a new low profile spindle, providing a 21.5% increase in throttle area at full throttle. This gives an increase of 6-8 BHP. Cross Sectional Areas. Standard Vectra 2.5 Throttle Body 2613mm 2 Modified Vectra 2.5 Throttle Body 3178mm 2 Price £260.50 (exchange). Fitting £144.00 |
| We can also rework the centre section of the inlet manifold on the Vectra 2.5 V6 engine for improved airflow at a cost of £49.95 (exchange). Please note that we include this reworking in the fitted price on the throttle body conversion listed above for Vectra 2.5 V6 when fitted in house. Not suitable for Cavalier/Calibra or Omega V6 engine. |
| Our cool running thermostat reduces the engine's normal running temp by 10 degrees protecting the engine and running it closer to it's optimum power temperature. Thermostat £25.50 |
