Has anybody considered a z16XEP engine for a nova conversion yet. . . These are from the mk4 astras

Any gen on if anybody has thought about this ?

Seems pointless considering the price you can pick a c16xe/x16xe up at these days imo.

lots of assing about with fly by wire pedals and uber complicated wiring i would imagine. Youd need a doner car to even bother attempting it IMO, and possibly running it on stand alone management to save the wiring ballache :)

i thought these were better power, but nope they are only 101Brake pretty poor really...

Although, the 11k engine ive found plus the fact its modern etc = a nice faultless drive :D

Aye, they only make about 100hp, like the older engines restricted for emissions etc.

Underneath all the add-ons, there just a 1.6 16v like any other.
