SEH is the 130bhp engine found in the mk2 cav sri130 and a few early mk3 cavs, NE is the 115bhp engine

[Bubba]

oh and a powercap and K&N Panel put my XE upto 156bhp

[Pistol Pete]

^ Which is pretty much standard power IIRC. TBH the Powercap is more of a tart up item IMO. I only have one fitted to my XE as the car came with it lol

[Bobminda]

Certainly cant notice any gains from my ecopipe

both do the same as each other.
they both make the air go direct into the carb and also look tidier in the engine bay.

Power sap?????

Pointless mod. Some people might argue they look better, where as an honest person would admit to the co(k-waving benefits of mentioning such a modification in a conversation down the pub.

It's an extra product he can sell you & the SFi box does hit the bulkhead on a Nova, even more so on the Corsa which it is essential.
Most Power caps are bought on the idea it gives a couple bhp & is something to stroke with a rag everytime you pop the bonnet.

is something to stroke with a rag everytime you pop the bonnet.

your getting rep for that.

thats just an awsome answer.

i personally think they just help tidy the engine bay up as the sfi box is huge and with an engine so big in a small shell.

Amusing how say on a Calibra, you could buy a powercap (£130?), buy a K&N 57i (£90), slap on a poorly built powerflow exhaust (£300??), fit some splitfire plugs & ghey blue leads etc & not gain, more than likely lose power at what amounts to circa £5-600! Nutts!
