Full List Of Requierements and advice for c16xe or x16xe conversion

[lukestavrinidis2008]

After my post on Best Engine For Power And Handling, i've decided i'm going to do the c16xe or x16xe.

Someone suggested using a f13wr gearbox, would this be right??

Also what do i need to complete this conversion, manifold, exhust etc

My car is currently a 1.2i do i need to change tank or anything on the fuel line

Help will be appreciated, as i'm trying to get everything together for august when i've got holiday booked, i want to do this as easily and avoid any complecations as its my daily runner, with no other car.

Stock X16 or C16 box... good enough for Vauxhall... ;)

Use Nova GTE/GSi flywheel and clutch as its alot lighter than the X16 version.

You need a VSS from a Spi Nova, yours may already have one tho..

You need either the single V crank pulley and alternator pully and a tensioner bracket setup or if you use the stock X16 multi ribbed belt setup you will need a tensioner from a non pas and aircon car.

Box is personal preferance imo, I run a F13WR as i want to keep the revs low at motorway speeds. Yes you could change the flywheel, not something that is a must though.

VSS will already be on the 1.2, A 1.2i is a pish easy conversion.

The belt setup is a hard thing as you eather have space or you dont, Mine has bags of space, some others dont.

Auto tensioner setup was spoken about in the thread southie posted.
