its also a different engine

corsa 1.8 sri is a small block

yes some of the vectras did mine is defo a c18xe

vectra's also had a c18xe lump didnt they

well the place i bought it from said it had 136 bhp as standard so like i said it is a c18xe

No I mean Astra GSi's the very first ones.

Check.

you mean Astra Cesaro ollie?

BTW the early Astra GSi's were C18XE's

J-plate ones. 135bhp from a 1.8 16v.

does anyone know if there is a smallblock variant of the 1.8 16v engine? or are all of them bigblocks?

would be fun to sneakingly convert a x16xe to a 1799cc or more :D

but my guess is that there are no smallblock 1800cc engines wich will fit the x16xe head :(

No its not its a X18XEV as JR said as its the engine from the astra sprts which were all post 92 ecotecs.

Not even worth fitting best off getting a 20xev or a 20xe more cost effecttive.

the x18xe is an ecotech the c18xe is a non ecotech the one which im gettin is definitely an c18xe

its an x18xev iirc, not a c18xe

well the real question is can i get this lump fitted to my car at not much extra cost??????

the question is do u act your age cos i doubt you will cos i know i dont?

thats right

so ur 1 day older than me then

i was born one day before you

i was told its pointless exercise, no one makes the mounts and for the effort a c20xe is easier and better

possibly you will need a fitting kit
for the likes of the c20xe as its a big block engine

so shafts, mounting kit, etc etc

yes c18xe from the astra sport 1.8 16v

c18xe?

ive got a c16xe engine but its blowm so ive now bought a c18xe engine will this fit straight in or do i have to start moving engine mounts about? is it gonna be a dificult job? cheers:boggle:
