Vauxhall Astra MK4, has the Z16XEL engine, with 100bhp. It is similar in design to the X16XE found in the Corsa Sport/GSi, but has a much longer inlet manifold tract and plenum. This has reduced BHP/torque a few notches. Still good performance, but cannot kepp up with my Sport 1.6. They are fairly heavy. SXi's are nice looking motors though. will hit 120mph still.
This is correct ^ Trust me, i bought the engine 
It produces a higher torque level at a slightly lower RPM. Major noticable difference from the X14/X16XE engine is that the inlet manifold curves like a straightish S bend, where-as teh X16XE engines go straight back.
