I can either get a

C20ne with an seh head loom ecu ect

Or a x18xe vectra engine
Engines are all complete

£80 each all running not sure which to go for ?

Both 115 bhp

the main difference between the seh & ne is the pistons... seh ones are higher comp.

ne/seh will fit easier.

the seh, the 2.0 has a nicer torque spread and its piss easy to fit in a corsa. loads of room, and done in a day.

Will the seh head make any difference in bhp figures?

we worked it out to be 1 inch recess. not massive amount.
thats fine, it will rev better with an seh ecu etc. iirc andy on here compared the two and noted that it sounded better and ran better too.
