so why do SBD recommend the XEL head on their 200+bhp engine then if its just a x14xe head? | |

What about the throttle body on the XEL are they restricted? I know coolant passes through it to heat it up so was thinking of bypassing it | |

i broke my old engine so replaced it with an xel and just swapped the inlets according to everyone i spoke to this is the only difference between the xe and xel i am also led to believe that the xel is less powerful in terms of bhp but has more torque than the xe how true this is i don't know someone might be able to verify or correct me though | |

I think vauxhall tried to detune xe16xel an the xe16xe with wierd intenal setup in the inlet manifold :) that's why if u put a powerbox inlet on them u can gain 15bhp :) | |

SOME XEL's had a different inlet iirc, the weird shaped one. | |

X16XEL has a different inlet manifold, and I think uses the X14XE head with smaller ports to restrict power. | |
