Hmm, blowing the inlet apart. | |

if your realy worried about the inlet, the best thing to do is get a mantzel/lexmaul/dBlias ;) | |

Not heard of any disadvantages to them though. Only thing to consider is that i's the older version, so more likely to have more miles so more likely to break. | |

parts are mostly identical, blowing the inlet manifold is complete shite, the x16xe has a more flowing LOWER inlet iirc, other than those differences and compression and an EGR system the engines are pretty much exactly the same. | |

im looking into buying a corsa gsi but im just wondering weather a few people could give me some advise please i was speaking to a friend last nite and told me although the c16xe is a faster engine (not by much) he also said that its so much harder to get parts for these engines and if the enginse was to misfire that it would blow the inlet manifold apart being its only plastic but said its better to get the one with the x16xe engine cos the inlet manifold is metal and so much easier to get parts for ?? im not really mechanicly minded but would it be worth getting a gsi/sport with the x16xe engine in it ??? |
