2.0 16v or 2.2 16v

[HASS]

This may seem like a silly question but what is the differences internally between the 2.0 16v and the 2.2 16v and how can you tell the difference externally other than the engine numbers.

Cheers in advance

which 2.0? and which 2.2?

[HASS]

Sorry, XE engines

[Sloth]

well.... the c20xe doent really share anything with the x22se pre se. you could run an x22se using early x20xev management. i have heard of people using 2.2 bits and creating hybrids. one guy on mig had a 2.2 bottm end, xe head and tbs which gave 290bhp iirc. he did grenade it at 8.7k rpm though...

[Sloth]
