tbh depending on the level of tune, I'd get the NE and turbo it... 200bhp out of the box pretty much with management & various other bits... | |

Sri16v will be C20XE up until M-reg, and then should be X20XE | |

The SEH is the SRI engine usually. 20NE is usually found in the more normal ones, GLS models etc. | |

cheers 4 that mate. so will still need 2 get custom mounts, driveshafts and hubs? or can these be used from the donor car? also any more info on the turbo'd 8valves is it an aftermarket kit or parts used from other vauxhalls? | |

Not all 2.0 8v are 130 BHP, but the ones out of Cav SRI's are. The conversion won't be much easier than an XE as your still removing a smallish engine and fitting a considerably bigger one. So you will still go through most of the same processes. | |

hi there. on this website there seems to be lots of talk about people doing the 16v redtop conversions. i was wondering what is the 8valve engine out of the cavalier sri's like and they any easier to fit than the redtop ones? |
