Anyone got a guide on the wiring for the 12 valve? | |

just a suggestion, if you are after a figure of 130bhp, you could drop in a 1.6sport engine, strait-through exhaust & a cheap power box (£100 ish) that will be around 130 bhp. | |

I don't mean to come across insulting (so hopefully it doesn't as it's not meant to be), but your dad probably says that because he "grew up" so to speak with 8v engines and knows more about them than 16v ones so prefers them as it's what he knows. | |

I wanted an xe in the first place but my dads being picky and says he only let me put the 8v in he says there easyier to work on and tend to be a stronger engine and dont bend valves... ;p I'm looking for the 130bhp engine and unsure on witch box to use... The 8v is better then the 12volt any day of the week mine pulls like a snail any only has 54 donkey power so 130bhp is a little more of a kick untill I get used to loads of power in a small car then I'll move on to the xe route :) | |

i had an 8v in mine for a good 10 months and was a great engine. got it cammed and spend alot trying to keep it going and pull more power from it. i would have kept it but for philip2 off here doing a rebuild cheap for me. | |

i had a rebuilt sri 130 cav engine in my nova. Ported polished. Full exhaust , filter and modified inlet. Lasted about 6 months. Was quick but nothin like my mates xe . But i just got another 8v for 30 quid its all down to what you can afford. | |

I wouldn't say its more robust, all depends how the engine has been looed after. I have heard good things about the 8v (seh one) although if I was you I'd go for an XE. All upto you really! | |

After reading about bove engines I'm going to go for the 8v over the 16v as it seems its more robust? and I think a 2.0 16v (redtop) what ever you want to call it might be a little to much compared to driving a 12volt.. |
