Same as X16XE, just different inlet setup giving it 6bhp less but more torque.

Get a Mantzel and those differences disapear.

Internal differences like a narrow throttle injector reflex and mid-crank EMA sensors.

What oliver is trying to say is.. buy my engine

Nah seriously, just look for all the donor parts from a Corsa - other cars might work, but it makes life easier to source Corsa parts.
