Nothing.
Loom is the same.
If you get an X16XE engine, with loom, and inlet manifold, you've got everything you need.
As for the bike TBs, yes, you could use them.
IMO, it really is better getting the 1.6 in sooner rather than later.

Cool cheers Robin. Am I getting the impression that Bike tb's aren't worth the aggro? Any ideas on what sort of prices x16xe engines etc go for?

I paid £350 for one a year ago, with a gearbox, and all the bits (alternator, loom, ecu, etc)
but you can get them far cheaper than that now, I paid well over the odds, but it was the only one about at the time.
