wouldnt NEED to run an afm, you could use map sensor and the x16 loom with egr disabled :thumbs:

cool, it is my bottom end he is thinking about buying, but we weren't sure if it would work with his head. If you are still interested mate PM me.

So what will be affected if I run a X16XE bottom end with a C16XE head?

The c16XE has the provision for EGR, just the TB plate that bolts to the inlet manifold blanks it off.
the head will bolt straight on and work.
the port designs are slightly different and partially acount for the extra power the early engine made.

compression ratio is different between the two. C16XE is 11.0:1 while the X16XE is 10.5:1. Also, inlet and exhaust tracts are different I THINK.

Are the C16XE and X16XE bottom ends identical? I know the heads are different with all the EGR ports, but should a C16XE head go on a X16XE with no bother? Are the pistons the same size etc? Will compression ratio be affected by this if the pistons are a different size?
