lol john, thats tickled me

It comprises of a crownwheel and pinion, but that's not important right now.

GTE will be a E16SE engine (no cat)
GSi will be a C16SE engine (with cat)
Power & Torque is the same.
Trim is different. GTE is old skool hard plastic. GSi is more modern and softer.
GSi has flashy leccy headlight adjusters
GSi is heavier
GSi is quieter inside (if left unmolested and bog standard)

There were fewer GTE's

GSI will not always have a cat and c16se engine. the front look different as well, gsi being younger should have less rust and black trim

[pie]

my bad :lol:

mean just the engine :)

[Timmy]

gsi would have either of the engine in. only well to tell is if it has a lambor sencer on

[bazil]

The dizzy and Bosch AFM is on the E16 and the C16 has coilpack and no Bosch afm iirc ( as said c16 also has a cat and lambda)

[pie]

can you still buy the oil switch on the bottom of the engine?

GSI will not always have a cat and c16se engine. the front look different as well, gsi being younger should have less rust and black trimShows how much you know Gsi can be either a E16SE or c16se and a nova with less rust lol you will find that the later ones rust worse than the mk1's F (88) are the best ones to go for

[pie]

so a E16se n C16se can be found in a gsi??

[mowgli]

can you still buy the oil switch on the bottom of the engine?

as it is the same one on astra mk3, cav mk3, calibra etc.... yes

[John]

so a E16se n C16se can be found in a gsi??

[GRUNT 16V]

[pie]

[pie]

right :lol:

is there any difs between them if you know what i mean which one is better to have?

thanks for the pic baz

[bazil]

[pie]

:lol:

il stick to my redtop's :lol:

thanks for your help bazil

[bazil]

the e16 is odd, the best way is to work with a loom, if you have a loom that is for a e16 ( ie no lambda or knock sensor ) then just get the dizzy and ecu to fit the plugs, cos by the looks of it there is no pattern to follow lol

[shed-on-wheels]

pie i have an oil switch dude
