Tigger wheel is inside the block on the z18xe rather than on the end of the crank. Like the x18xe1

When i trained as a vehicle technician/mechanic during my apprentiship i got taught the term fly by wire, where rather than the throttle body butterfly flap being controlled by ur foot and a throttle cable an electric steppamotor controls the flap and ur throttle pedal is a sensor which detects thottle pedal posistion which then the ecu uses this info to control throttle body flap movement and fuelling etc
hope this helps :thumbs:

i believe the term fly by wire is misused when it comes to cars, fly by wire is used to describe a plane where controls are electronic driven rather then traditional hydraulics

X18XE1 is a cable throttle and Z18XE is fly by wire. Don't know of the other differences though.

i think one of the differences in x18 and z18 is the head gasket is made from different stuff

or at least this was the case when i had a astra g 1.4 and couldnt find out if it was x or z14
