C18XE (if you can find 1) is a good motor.The book figures are 125bhp,but the never seem to make that power,they always make more.Seen plenty over the years in standard form pull over 140bhp. | |

Think the 113bhp is the X18XE1, and the 123bhp is a Z18XE (the very late 1.8 Vectra B's seemed to use the Z18XE that you also found in the Corsa C SRi) | |

To be honest buddy i dont see the point. If you want a cheap conversion go for the vectra 1.8 engine, think the code is x18xe1 or something like that. Assuming you have a sport 16v already then apparently it uses all the same parts i.e shafts, hubs, gearbox ect. | |

Do you mean are they fast? Are they easily tunable? Are they reliable? Are they cheap to buy? | |
