I'm planning on fitting a Vauxhall c20let turbo engine to my e30 316i using an omega gearbox and manta sump, I was wondering has this been done before on here and was looking some inspiration and pictures

Definitely been done. 321gazza is one member who built one, but I'm not sure if he's around any more. His last post was 10 months ago, but he may be on the facebook site.

Do you have all these parts already ?
Finding a let engine that’s not tired is impossible!
I have owned 3 c20lets and 6 c20xe over the years and good engines they are but they were tired 10 years ago .
Manta sump is the other part you will struggle to buy .
If you have these parts sorted go for it because they are amazing engines and a standard let will do 300hp almost standard “xe inlet cam and chip” !
