only x16xe as in corsa's. They are lying if they are saying it came from a tigra unless it had an engine conversion.

XEL came in the astra. Not the tigra, that got the X16 same as the corsa.

High torque, but lower power. Gains about 4-5lb ft of the XE, but looses 6bhp (100bhp).

Head,cams, top and bottom inlets are different.
They make a bit more torque due to the inlet length.

Eastend-Its pointless keep sending them back just because there an XEL, just fit a fooking x16xe lower inlet and the inlet box, and it'll be no different than a X16xe.

well if the head and cams are different as you say it still wont be the same as the x16xe.

plus i have an ecu for an x16xe!

i just want to know its the engine i want, and i dont feel i should have to do the manifold work as then i dont have one on the 1.4 engine wen i sell it

The difference will be un-noticeable.
The only difference is the shape of the inlet port.

i have just rung them up and he said he has pulled the x16xeL out of a 1999 tigra.

So i told him that they were never made for the tigra but he still belives that he pulled it out of a tigra.

i told him taht they are different and that i would have to do work on the manifold aswell as the ports being smaller in the head. He said we have never had a problem sending an x16xel before, noone has ever rung us up and complained.

now i have to ring him on monday to sort it out because he was going home

I reckon he sorted it, unless it has taken 13 months
