[novajulz]

i need a 1.6 NE engine for my turbo mate any idea?

[mowgli]

never heard of a 1.6 ne......where did you find the engine no. from?

they did a small block 1.6 with 8:1cr for the south american market to run on crap fuel & sugar ethanol....

[novajulz]

Is a 1.6 8v ne engine from a calibra?

[blue_peg_16v]

never made a 1.6 calibra 2.0 smallest

[novajulz]

oh ok i need a 1.6 ne engine for my turbo conver dont know what car its out of to find one

[mowgli]

it definitely is not a uk model.... ne engines were big block... like 1800 & 2000. maybe they did a 1600 one for some strange tax reason in another country.

why do you need such a thing anyway?? have you bought a secondhand turbo kit off the net?? it could be off an american lump....

[novajulz]

no i got a 1.6 se with a turbo on it but been told comp too high so need a 1.6 ne?????

[16v Nova Kev]

na you need a de comp plate/2 gaskets

[novajulz]

be told not to bother turboing se/seh engines as the comp is way to high and not worth the trouble mate. can i get a 2ltr NE engine?

[mowgli]

no i got a 1.6 se with a turbo on it but been told comp too high so need a 1.6 ne?????

2mm spacer plate & second gasket...........

the 1.6 low comp pistons are available on import, but i've never seen any..

[16v Nova Kev]

i was quoted 60quid to get my pistons skimed

[Prey]

no such thing as a 1.6 ne motor - only 2.0 ne, came in mk3 cavs, astras and calibras

[novajulz]

Too much hassle for one girl lol i wanted to just get the right engine just to put my turbo on if not will just go back to standard 1.4 sri and sell turbo

[16v Nova Kev]

sounds like a plan

[novajulz]

yeah it does lol so if i go back to the 1.4 SRI would it make much difference if i cammed it?

[mowgli]

i was quoted 60quid to get my pistons skimed

the bloke who machined me a set wouldn't charge me a penny incase they went bang & i took him to court.............

[novajulz]

Think i will get rid of my T3 TURBO any ideas how much i could get for it? Also got a 1.6 gsi bottom n a 1.4 sri top to go?

[novajulz]

oh and the oil cooler how much the worth?

[novajulz]

If anyone is intrested in these part please P.M me thanx

[Stuart]

Start a proper for sale thread in the right section then.

There is a big block 1.6 but really just dont bother as it weighs a feck load and even with a GOOD turbo build it wont be muc faster than a lash up build 1.6 small block lol

[Lynsey]

I've got an NE for sale.

[novajulz]

Ive PMd u Lynz.

[Sloth]

you need a c16nz bottom end, its the astra mk3 spi engine.:thumb:

[novajulz]

really cheers mate thanks for your help. so would i still need a spacer plate with the c16nz bottom end?

[Ben]

better of sticking toa c16se or an e16se as these are most common 1600 bottom ends which get turbo'd and the advice and kits will be based around these. If you want to go and try something completely different please do, but...

with the questions your asking i wouldnt advise it, if you are insisting on tubo'ing a 1.6 which is hassle in itself just go the tried and tested methods.

Do a search on here and have a look what others have done.

[novajulz]

ok thanx mate i really dont know wot to do lol.

[Dod]

Why do I find your posts/replies so hard to read Julz?


Anyway, 16nes cane in Single point Cavaliers, but beware as some of these were Big Block engines. Their bottom ends are stupidly unreliable and generally not worth the hassle. On the other hand, they're common and easily found for little money. The C16XE Cams and other parts do fit straight on but you're still running with the weak bottom ends which could spell trouble.

Have a look on www.vaux-extreme.co.uk (http://www.vaux-extreme.co.uk) as its their speciality on there.

[dannyb]

ok thanx mate i really dont know wot to do lol.
Who will do the conversion in light of this surprising evidence?

[novajulz]

what you mean dod im confussed ive got people telling me different things e.g ENGINES. and what you mean buy that then danny??

[Lynsey]

Why not just sell the turbo and fit a 2.0? It's much simpler. And I have a 2.0 engine for sale lol

[Ben]

ok thanx mate i really dont know wot to do lol.

Well in that case dont do anything yet, read theforums and have a good look round before you decide to goand buy this and that for something as you will end up changing your mind 100 times.

Start off basic and work yourself up.

[novajulz]

ok thank you ben for that advice mate.

[wwmnw]

Or you could use a 1.6 16v and funnily enough I have one for sale with all the trimmings, ECU, Loom, close ratio gearbox, and its a C16XE corsa GSi engine.

[Stuart]

what you mean dod im confussed ive got people telling me different things e.g ENGINES. and what you mean buy that then danny??

he means you keep using text typing, which is funking annoying and also against the rules of the forum.

[Jack]

V6 the fcuker lol

[novajulz]

What the fcuk you on about stuart i haven't been text typing LMFAO.

[Stuart]

wot repeatedly :p


but seriously, Bens advice is best. Make your mind up what you want to do/spend and go from there as at the moment you are all over the place with ideas/suggestions and its only going to confuse you and us more and more untill you wind up with a shagged engine

[dannyb]

What is the car being built for - trackday use or a (less tempermental and reliable) road car? What power do you want to see from the engine? What do you want to spend?
