Trust me, its a X16XE its out of a Tigra and it looks exactly the same as my old Corsa GSi's X16XE.

Its also stamped on the block "X16XE"

Only Daimo would make the mistake of buying a X16XEL with the bent inlet manifold thinking it was a X16XE

Na, have'nt got the torque tube yet, its my plan to have it.

But I have had to keep lots of money spare for the bodyshop, if they do it cheaper than I think then I will buy the inlet manifold.

Velos inlet manifold, unichip, 4-2-1 manifold

Should be good for 130bhp in that light weight shell.
