gsi engine.... erm 8v or 16v?
the basic engine bolts in the same as does the gearbox, you use nova shafts though.
the rest pends your reply on 8v/16v

[Ste L]

i presume its a 16v, seeing as its a corsa sgi engine he wants?

[nova~norm]

Yeh its a 16v dnt get 8v gsi corsas well as far as i kno!!!!!so can any one help! cheers

[Adam]

It fits straight in.
Use nova shafts.

Depending which 1600 16v it is, you might need the transponder chip for the immobiliser.

Do u think it would b a worth while swap?or would i b as well with C20XE?was thinkin o corsa gsi as seam to be quite quick can tune am to 150++ bhp and would handel better than c20xe with it not been so front heavie

Whatb uz think?

Didnt say needs engine as 1.2 is c*ntin slow have had 2sri's b4 seam fleet enough but not any mint ones left well up here so had to resort to buyin a 1.2 has its good points 36k miles from new o owner from new MINT or was on goin project!need to get a engine in so can get it painted

I think you should try to type tidy because your very hard to understand.

And to get 150+ bhp out of the 1600 16v lump you will need to throw quite a bit of money into it and you still wouldnt get anywhere near the same power as the XE because it has mush more torque.

a lot more work tho?prob best to just put in a xe as u say like but up in the NE of scotland their aint many kicking about and if some 1 has one they are needing way too much for it!plenty on ebay but would mean a road trip!no winning like

[Adam]

Fitting an Xe is a lot more work.
Need to use cav inner cv's, gte 22spline driveshafts, weld the engine bay etc.

1600 16v goes straight in and is tunable to around 200+bhp if you have plenty of money to spend :thumb:
