its bassically the same as the 20xe except the 20xej had a throttle body mod in some way which restricted it to 150bhp,was speaking to a mate the other day who had a xej in his astra

A catalytic converter was optional on the Redtop lump because it was designed before the introduction of compulsory catalytic converter laws. In 1992/1993, the C20XE was still in mass production, but didnt have to have a Catalytic Converter by UK Law.

the compression ratio is the difference in pressure between each of the cylinders. The difference on the XE engines is usually no more than 1Bar.

it might be hard for you to find a fully functional 1.8 SRi enginefor a transplant. Your best bet if you want to do this is trade in the 1.2 SXi for a 18 SRi. You would need to uprate brakes as well. Alternatively, look at fitting the C20XE engine from the Astra GTE, Cavalier GSi or Calibra 2.0. This is a difficult transplant and may caost you a lot of money, and you have to run 2 ECU's for the electronics to work properly.

whats the emmission rating for a 20xe

how much would a 1.8 sri engine cost?

any you want. It depends on how much you want to spend, how much power etc and how much hassle.

what engine can i put in my corsa c to replace the z12xe

whats compression ratio?

lol..u make it seem so simple...:)

regarding emmisions, the X stands for Euro 2, anything less is Euro 1. Z is Euro 3. Euro 4 is to phased in in the EU over the next couple of months. Lets take your engine, Z12XE right? Z stands for emissions, 12 means its 1200cc, X means its compression ratio is between 10 and 11.5:1 . E means its multi-point injection. Easy.

LET meaning it is multi point injection WITH Turbo.

Right here goes. My engine is X16XE. The X at the start corresponds to Vauxhalls own emissions rating. Higher the number, the more friendly it is. the 16 stands for the engine capacity, being 1600cc. The next letter is X again and denotes the compression ratio. L = 8.5 - 9:1 N = 9 - 9.5:1 etc etc. The Last letter is E and stands for the fuelling system. E stands for multi point fuel injection. Z is single point, V = carbs and D is diesel.

the let is a 2.0 16v turbo(204bhp) the xe is a 2.0 16v(153/150bhp),all the engines have different codes for different years and types

whats diff between a LET and an XE engine?...why are corsa B 1.4 engine a X14XE but a corsa c is a Z14XE..diff between X and Z.....also diff vauxh like vectra s and astras have a XEV,XE1,SE alsorts..what they all mean lol:boggle::boggle::boggle: :thumbs:
