I've got a X16XE, X18XE1 and a C20NE in the workshop.. I'd guess the C20NE is about the same as the XE?

See people "say" they have all these engines, but no-ones ever actually sat there and weighed them all (with or without fluid).

Many debates about SB or BB engines, weight, power etc.... We all know the power, but no-one has actually ever weighed all the lumps and posted so peopel can actually work out how good/bad the extra weight of a big block engine is.

Ne, thats the 8v isn't it? Would be in the same ball park, but probably 5-10kg less than the 16v (more cams, bigger head etc)

Why would it make more sense to get someone else to do it? He will now know where everything is and it will help alot if and when anything goes wrong with it, I'd rather have a bash at it myself and learn as I go than pay someone £500 to do it...


He's been paying someone else to do it for him, was away for ages and he got it given bak to him with sensors bodged on with rivets

Based on that I woulda paid dave/warren...


Oh.... Me too
