tbs are better mid range compared to carbs but generally both give same peak power.

all depends what your doing, dont half the clet rods, pistons, valve springs, caps, etc interchange between the two anyway?

Also depends on the driver's weight, driving style and roads driven.

standard clet vs standard zleh will be quicker :/

no there full of sensors so make the engine more efficent




because these engines get the shit ragged out of them, if they're not rebuilt then theres bound to be problems with them.

I used to have a astra gsi turbo, z20 let, my mate had a mk3 astra gsi, with c20let, the mk3 was faster, and more efficient on fuel, he could see 35/40mpg sometimes, whereas I would struggle to get 33/34mpg.

old skool rules. FACT :thumbs:

Actually the Z20LEH/T is a much better block than the C20LET.

Its only the engine management that is the bottle neck.

right so does that make the Z20LET more efficient as it is a ecotec effectively and is lighter due to it been newer :o

Z20LEH is low compression version of the X20XEV girdled bottom end with a Y22XE head with sodium filled valves.

The C20LET is the old pre ecotec engine same basic block and head as a C20XE and similar block to C20NE.

can anybody tell me more about the differences between the 2 engines other than power wise
