Xe's

[Tuffty]

thats defo an eco tec bmx dave

 

tho dont worry the bottom end is identical to a red top all ya need is a bust red top with a good head inlet manifold wiring loom ect and swap them over

 

later eco tecs are 2 peice sumps and they are slightly different

 

I prity sure that the ecotec blocks have extra webbing on them which in theory should make them stronger as well.

 

 

another option if you can't find a c20xe is to use the c16xe out of a corsa Gsi.

I know this is only a 1.6, but it was heavily worked on by coswoth and then heavily restricted by vauxhall using an inlet manifold which is almost a metre long!

these engines love to rev, weigh less then a 2.0 and with a set of throttle bodies and cams can easily see 170+ bhp

if you really want to know about xe's try www.vauxsport.com the best performance related vauxhall site on the net.

 

what they dont know about vauxhall engines isnt worth knowing
