fuel rail and injectors x16xe c16xe

[Jedro]

two questions:

1. does the fuel rail and injectors from an x16xe or x16xel fit the c16xe and run fine??

2. is it true that an x16xe lower inlet is needed to run a powerbox inlet (like vx) on the c16xe?

thanks very much

Id say the fuel rail and probably the injectors are the same.

And yeah you need a x16xe lower inlet.

cheers Adam, any advance on 'probably'? :)

For some reason I remember reading somewhere the C16xe injectors were bigger than the X16xe ones.

I also need to know this, my injectors have blocked so in need of 4. Are they the same?

i have someone who's rebuilding a c16xe that hes bought with no bits and hes interested in the fuel rail and injectors. if the x16xe do fit and the sale falls through let me know jay ;)

There are two part numbers for the injectors and the rails that apply to the C16Sel, C16XE and X16XE. I don't have access to EPC at the moment to check the difference but the fitment will be the same. I do recall Velos saying the C16 injectors were different but it's hardly likely to matter much.

I'm running the grey injectors (which could be either type, I think they are X16XE) and they are coping at the increased fuel pressure and just maxing out at flat out with ~150bhp

cheers phazer. is it safe to say i could sell them to him saying that they'll fit/work then? dont want to get known as a bad trader

Obviously I can't be 100% as I can't check EPC at the moment but I would expect there to be a chassis break point on the parts numbers. Vauxhall do this a lot and when you check the older part it's been superceded to the new one.

A quick google reveals the fuel rail is used on the X14 also so would bet the C16 is the same. The injectors will certainly fit and work.
