So there's no benefits from one to the other apart from condition? Both the same power out put?

if you have already got a c14se, then the gsi c16se will be a bit easier to fit.

other than that, there isn't much in it. the astra mk3 used the c16se, so there are more about

Does the e16se you'd a distributor? As thinking about future mods like bike carbs

e16se has a distributor, early c16se has one, later one has dispack.

from what i can glean from a bosch manual i've got, the ignition circuit is pretty much separate from the ecu, but i'm still working on it

It would be though wouldn't it as it's using the distributor for the ignition timing
