Just went to look at one and the bloke says there the same as the corsa engines but the inlet looks the different and the engine code is x16xel

Will it be the same as the x16xe? because im using the x16xe ecu and wiring

cheers

Yer it will all fit on the block as externally its the same as long as its a small block engine.


Just the preformance will differ due to the smaller ports in the head slightly

mid range might be slower and more mpg unsure what acceleration will be like though. might be slower, might be faster. i really couldnt say. an astra is slower than a corsa, so thats something to think about.
