c20xe

you running coil pack or distributor? you'll need a xe dizzy exhaust cam if you're going to use a dizzy from a cav 1.8 mk2. or a aftermarket electronic dizzy.

You can use megajolt but then you need a different coilpack and trigger wheel etc.

Have a look at my wip.

oh my god its just got really confusing!!!ive got a dizzy.would it be easier to use webbers??

[chimp007_uk]

you'll have the same problem, they're all carbs...

Forget the other post, if you have a dizzy set up now, look for a vauxhall big block carb dizzy, coil and amp.

Or buy a H&H one.

Find out whats in the bundle you've been offered, if its come from an xe it would have used a dizzy, or mejolt etc.

ok mate thanks a lot for your advice.will wait and see what i may get.oh ye is it worth all the hassle power wise?

[chimp007_uk]

Properly set up, they'll go well and you'll notice some gains.

You'll love the sound. If you go for more engine work, then obviously they'll make a bigger difference.
