think the one your after is the x18xe,xe1
from vectras i think, if ive got the code right then no mantzel wont fit as the ports are waaaay bigger than the 1.6. uses the same mounts as the x16xe/c16xe though.

the pistons are of excellent design on them aswell.

have a look on migweb at lee303's project thread. he's using one in his nova

astra sport? Yes

would it bolt straight into a corsa? You need a conversion kit, like you do for a C20XE

would a mantzel fit on it? No

The small block 1.8 is the Z18XE or X18XE1, NOT the X18XE or C18XE, they're both big block.

Lee's not using a standard engine though TBH

Mark, I'd say, if you're after easy power, go for a C20XE.

If you want something which you're going to throw a few grand at to make a crazy engine, get an X18XE1.

C18/Z18XE just isn't worth bothering with in standard form IMO.

c18xe is a rare engine these days. I have never seen one or even sold parts for one.

x18xe is much more common.
