as long as its the x18xe1; then no problem using o.e management, as with x14/x16 just needs immob skipping past i believe.
Look at' warren g's garage' thread (corsa-c.co.uk) hes transplanted x18xe1's into corsa b's keeping o.e management.

But yeah the engines are plentyful, not too old and cheap as youre finding. I say sell the big block fitting kit, keep your cav and at £150 the x18xe1 youve seen could be a bargain. Just check its not the x18xe. Which is a big block.

.

all the mentioned people are using ITB's/programmable engine management. No one i know is using bike carbs.

tom reid is bike carbing his 3 engines

[Danb1987]

Im assuming bike carbs and megajolt would be the easiest way around the ecu problem?

I have no clue about megajolt at all thow so I'm stuck there

If it's the same as the x16 it should be just a case of ecu keychip and transponder right?

[peester]

yeah true i have seen tom's thread on MIG he's planning to, bit early stages at the moment yet though aint it..? though the putting one onto an 8 valve bottom end interests me most.
i dont know about bike carbs; im not a fan.
But yes, im pretty sure thats all there is to it. Dave franczak did this many moons ago too, thread lost in archives now though.

2 of the 3 engines are built just modifing the sumps on the 16v's for the manifold

Lee needs to have those shafts hollowed & peened if he's going through them
