Look at SB Developments page and also QED Quorn Engine Developments, Your best options are 45 twin carbs or the better option would be 45 throttle bodies and a new programable engine management.

Plese don't let busses pull out.

145bhp, does that mean u had the ecotec engine as the 2.0L 16v should churn out 150 as standard and 165ish with ur mods! The ecotec is 136bhp as standard! I'm not 100% sure wot the difference is, but im sure the ECU would be different, try the ECU from the C20XE engine, unless some1 tells u there is a big mechanical difference with the ecotec!!

The older XE has an excellent head (loads of potential), the ecotec is pretty poor, as it's designed for emmissions and economy.

Get out of my sweet shop.
