Please help with a few Q's i have!
Which is ecotec - C16XE or X16XE?
Will a C16XE engine fit in a corsa which has had the X16XE in?
Im changing the engine, but swapping ALL components i.e inlet manifold, gearbox, exhaust manifold from the X16XE
i wont need to change wiring will i?

ecotech is X16XE
yes
if you are changing from a C16XE to a X16XE or the other way you will have to change the engine wiring loom

looms and ecu is different... x16 uses a map sensor, c16 uses an airflow meter... ooh and the c16 ecu is huuuuge whereas the x16 ecu is smaller  you can use the x16 ancilliaries on the c16 bare engine though no probs
