	how much more then?
Dave A	posted on 20th Jan 07 at 23:07
	its a hell of a lot more than 20kg. the c20xe flywheel alone is 3kg heavier than a flat x16xe one.
Rob126	posted on 20th Jan 07 at 22:49
	only 20kg more than the 1.6? then its worth adding 20kg and 50bhp more no??

	am going to check engine prices next week. already saw a C16XE and was quoted almost £700 for it. including gearbox, ecu, wiring etc (had approx. 45,000miles). will check about C20XE next week then i'll decide!!

	Depends on how much it costs somone to weld you a mont up out there. You can do it using Mk II Cav inner CV's and Corsa GSi driveshafts, then your next issue is the Powercap. You need one of those or an adaptor made up so you can fit the inlet pipe off of an X20XEV. You also need to mod the gear linkage and space the gearbox mount out 10mm. If all this costs more than £150 then it might be worth just going for the MTech kit as it all comes in a box ready to go... There is no right or wrong way really, so up to you in the end :)

	mtech mounts etc are the most factory looking imo... worth the extra money (imo)

	id just get a kit myself as its easier and less faffing about . mounts are easy enuff to make tho
Rob126	posted on 19th Jan 07 at 20:35

Rob126	posted on 18th Jan 07 at 08:25
	definitely not doing it myself but a garage would be able to i guess or not?
Rob126	posted on 18th Jan 07 at 08:25
	hmmm thats a prob so! how difficult is it?
BeArDy	posted on 18th Jan 07 at 08:17
	yes can be done without a kit. aslong as you are good at metal fabrication and you can use a lathe
Rob126	posted on 18th Jan 07 at 08:02
	can this be done without the conversion kit? was considering it but noone sells the kits in malta. and to ship a whole kit from the uk would be quite expensive!!! what are your views on this matter? would it be more worth to use a 1.6 and tune it with the extra cash?
