I have never worked for David.

	Well in my defence I did take it to a bunch of retarded cowboys :\| If it had gone to Dave or even Warren nothing would have gone wrong. [Edited on 22-12-2009 by swill_omnibus]

With a remap it would be about 135-140bhp which would make it pretty fast but a redtop would pull away eventually. I spent alot of money on a 1.6 and got 130bhp and it was nippy but an xe would sook me all day. You would be better with throttle bodies but thats alot more than your budget.

In that you can use the existing mounts and don't need loads of conversion parts like you do for the xe. you must have done 100s of engine conversions in your time mate.

	c20xe. The 16's are quick, but 20xes have plenty of torque. If your going to tune the engine the redtop will obviously see better gains quicker.

	I have had a few corsas in the past.. 1.4's and 1.6. I bought a corsa 1.2 sxi from the auctions not long ago and i need a bigger engine... i know the c20xe are good engines but as too are the x16xe's. My question is, what would you suggest i go for with a budget of about £1200 for engine swap? Thanks in advance
