was just having a conversation with someone about the engine in the veccy SRi 150, the 2.2 16v it makes 147 bhp and 149lb/ft so more like the c20xe rather then the x20xe.
Just wondered why we aernt seeing any corsas having this lump transplanted, i realise that companies out there do specific conversion kits for the 2.0, but how hard is it to modify or fabricate the bits for a 2.2?
I know the redtop is a great engine but they are at least 12 years old now, sure fine u can rebuild it but why not try the 2.2?

because the z22se doesnt respond wel at all to tuning. very restricted in the means of the chain driven system

Do you have to give them a complete engine or would they take the trade-in in the same state?

X20XEV found in the later Astra GSi's, Cav/cally 2.0's.
Only 136 Bhp, but more likely to get one with lower miles, conversion kits available for it from PVD, and there are companies out there who make TB kits for it  .

2.0 16v has been built to 280bhp by swindon racing, so im sure the 2.2 can be very highly tuned if you really want to.
