[Riggy]

on the end of the block right near spark plug 4

[Adam]

What engine is it?
a 1.4?
1.6?

99% guaranteed it will be C.
As that stands for cat, and a m-reg car should have a cat.

[big andy]

1.6 m reg

[Aragorn]

well the only 1600 engines fitted to corsas are the 16v units

if its an 8v mpi unit its a 1400; C14SE, which is the engine fitted to sri corsas and also sri nova's

if its an M reg 16v then it could be either a C16XE or an X16XE depending on the year

1.6 m reg
They didn't do a 1.6 8v corsa.

They did 1.6 16v.

[Adam]

upgrading a sri need the engine code cant find it on the block
The sri is 1400 engine.
If it is a sri and not gsi.

[big andy]

its a 1.6 16v gsi

[Aragorn]

if it has an AFM its a C16XE
if it doesnt its an X16XE

[big andy]

whats the difference?

[Aragorn]

the difference being the C16xe having an AFM and no EGR (and 107bhp), and the X16XE having no afm, EGR (and 104bhp)

[big andy]

egr be the thing on the exhaust manifold? not sure what a afm is!!!

[Aragorn]

afm == airflow meter

egr is some crap attached to the cylinder head that recirculates exhaust gas

[big andy]

its got a egr then
