Tuned valver or LET?

[Chris]

have problems deciding what to do. can i have some help please?

[Jules]

LET - One reason..........Whharrrppppp TIISSHHHH!!!!!

[Dpnova]

I agree with Jules

[Breeny]

Depends how much effort and trouble you would be happy with.

Let is major hassle and you need to keep on top of stuff...

Personally I'd go for the XE for more reliability.. My Let is a pain in the bum lol

[tonydry]

if anyone on hear who has a let lives close to you get them to take u out in it that will make your mind up for you. i was thinking the same as you a few mth ago in the end after reading all the negative coments about the let i decided on the ex till i got chatin to a lad of hear with a let he came to mine and toke me for a spin we only got to the end ov the street and my mind was made up.as a result i now have a let in my shed waitin to go in my nova :lol:

I'll say the XE cause you can get always convert it to a turbo later on if you change your mind in a few months time. :lol:

The fastest combination: A valver, but only a 1600cc!

I know it wasn't in your original question, but a high power 1600 16v will be a better all rounder. If you have the money, go for a small block 1800 16v on TB's

small block 1800?!

i had always thaught the 1.8 fitted to the corsa SRi's were big block engines? and thats the only one i can think you are referring to?

[Barn]

what does XE mean?
whats the difference between a small block and a big block?

c20let 20.l turbo 16v
c20xe 20.l 16v
small block is small lol ie 1.48v 1.4 16v 1.6 8v 1.6 16v
big block is big ie 2o.l 8v 20.l 16v 2.5 v6

what does XE mean?

cheers

i know that xe just means that its 16 valve. or dohc. the let must mean that its turbo as up until the astra/zaf turbo c20let was only turbo vaux had done. the newer turbo lump is the x20let i think.
Lunitic Engineers Turbo?

[Serialkilla]

The new turbo lumps are Z20LET.


The C20LET lumps are fitted in the Calibra 2.0L 4x4 turbo and the Cavalier 2.0L 4x4 Turbo cars.
