c16se e16se ENGINES.. WHERE THESE USED IN ANY CARS OTHER THAN NOVA GTE'S AND GSI S

[dame]

Hi I am desperate to locate a basic block and head for gte i race, i want to build up a spare engine but cant get hold of one for love or money, is there a carbed version or even 1 used in an astra or what have you ... please help!!
please!!!:confused::confused:

C16SE came in some mk3 Astra's and they were all injection iirc

[bazil]

Try looking at the Z16SE found in vectra B and Astra G

Some have the engine mount at the front like the nova and the engine is a descendent of the E16SE so the basic block and head are still pretty much the same, as is compression and MPI, things that won't work in a nova would be the injection system ( easier to use the E16SE set up ) and multi rib fan belt,

Certainly something to look at.

wasn't there an spi version (with square ports) used in the cavalier & astra?? might be some good for bottom end parts

[Adam]

C16nz was the spi version.
Different bottom end to mpi though. Different pistons etc.

[dame]

thats great lads thanks, keep em coming, and if anyone has such an engine.....

[mowgli]

you could use the bottom end from a 1600 ecotec, then fit some e16se pistons, the 1400 8v mpi corsa head would be an ideal swap

what's the racing class??

[dame]

its stock hatch as in 750 motor club circuit racing not the dirt track stock hatch, we have to keep em stock...nice ideas tho :-) cheers
