all depends on how deep your pockets are and if you want n/a or forced induction?

Read up on these engines. There are very slight differences between the 2. One has smoother inlet ports or something like that and produces an extra 3-4bhp over the other engine.

Earlier c16xe is better than the later x16xe.

If you've got deep pockets you could go for a race-tuned engine, ~220bhp+ but for close on £10k. Or a tuned X16XE could see 150bhp for a fair bit less than £10k.

What about a Honda B16B engine? I've toyed with this idea, almost 170bhp standard.

Get a C16XE. They're much faster and stronger than the X16XE. Totally different and better.

How about dropping in an M30 engine? 3.5L straight six will have plenty of grunt

as it's for sprints, would an 2.0L 8v engine not be a good ideal?

If you want 150bhp, get the lowest mileage engine you can. Which these days will more than likely be a x16xe /x16xel.

Change the rod bolts for ARPs and a set of ITB's Blue c20xe injectors with a set of 264 cams and a good exhaust manifold and system, you'll get close to 170Bhp, wont break the bank, spend some money on a diff and final drive in the gear box and you'll have a good sprint engine.

I had 160bhp out of a standard engine. Just Itb's and exhaust.

Over 180bhp actually

It isn't cheap to get good power out of the c16/x16xe.

180bhp even, but you'll prob drop the 10bhp cause it's been ragged to shit. Didn't some lad on mig put one into a Nova?

And Eck is right, quite dear to get big power out of a vauxhall 1600.
