black top xe's were the later xe's in 1994 M reg cav sri's etc, these did'nt have a dizzy and had a coil pack instead, they are not as tunable as the older xe's and some of them do say ecotec on them but they are still 150 bhp unlike the shit new 2.0 16v engines at 136 bhp that are in vauxhalls these days. 1600 ecotec's with mantzal box'es thrash newer 2.0 16v ecotecs

I know this is digging up an old topic, but why are the xe's with a black L shaped plug cover reading ecotec not as tunable as the red tops? I know its coz of them not having a dizzy but a coil instead but why does this affect it?

Thanks, si
