1994 gsi was a c16xe

1996 gsi was a x16xe

completely different head, different sensors, ecu and looms. also the x16xe has the egr and sai systems (the valve on the manifold)

that means yours is a c16xe.

the x16xe isnt a straight swop in that case. you would need a new ecu and wiring loom from the x16xe for it to fit.

dave you have a c16xe which has a different head, also egr and sai,loom,ecu. if your wanting a c16xe try vauxhall. or get someone to replace your piston rings it doesnt cost much.

changing from a c16xe to a x16xe is not worth it.

1. you will be getting a less powerful engine

2. it wouldnt be worth the money.

hope you get something sorted out
