Iv tried the search but I cant really find much info at all on these :/
All iv found is that there pretty much the exact same to fit as the 1600?
But what tuning options have people gone for other than bike carbs etc
And being smallblock is there much weight difference in-between the 1800 and Xe?

Yes same fit as 1600/1400/1200.
all the mentioned people are using ITB's/programmable engine management. No one i know is using bike carbs. Warren g turbo's these though, as a service.
Itll be the same sort of weight as any small block valver. So a lil lighter than any big block. c20xe included. z22se excluded, maybe, lol.
in short, what puts people off using the std management?
The thing is I just want something that will be relatively cheap to do and not have to mess up my shell trying to fit the engine!
Iv got a complete xe kit in the garage lol with shafts hubs etc..
I just can't justify breaking my xe cav as it's a perfect daily/family car.
V6 let xe smallblock x16 all ask for at least £200 with xxx miles on them, iv found and x18 for £150 with a genuine 50kms on the clock,
I see it as a more reliable way to go with the car :)
get it put in & put a project thread on here, please
