difference between

[ady40]

hi guys wats the difference between power wise to the 1.6 gte/gsi
any input would be good cheers

[John]

about 2bhp iirc, between e and c16se. i've driven both, no noticable difference imho.

Do you mean power difference between GTE and GSi? If so, none really, they make the same power. One was E16SE and other was C16SE, few different parts and different loom iirc.

edit - john has it covered

[Adam]

C16se makes a touch more power because it makes 100hp with a cat fitted, whereas e16 makes 100 with no cat....

But dont forget you rarely see c16se engined GSi's, most are e16se's.

iirc the c16se was only in the later gsi's (K-L reg)

out of choice i would have the c16se as it doesnt have a big afm in the way and makes 100bhp with a cat like adam has mentioned.
