Robbed from www.topbuzz.co.uk go here and do a search for engine codes:

This is the engine code for the 2L 16v, DOHC, fuel injection engine as found in the Calibra, Astra and Cavalier cars. Lets split the engine code up. The letter 'C' is the type of exhaust or emission level standard. In this case C = EEC R 83.

The next 2 numbers is the engine cc, which is 2000cc (i.e. 2L). The next letter (X) is the engine compression ratio, in this case X = 10.0 to 11.5. The letter E is the fueling system, which E = multi-point fuel injection (petrol).
