yeah x18xe1 was fitted to early mk4 astras and the vectra b, and some zafiras. The ecu is bolted to the inlet manifold, the immobiliser key needs getting round though, i presume in the same way as the x16xe.

X18XE1 is
X18XE isn't (thats a big block 1800 eco)
The XE1 fitment apparently is as straight forward as a 1600 16v
So are we all agreeing that the best solution for the Nova is a well tuned 1800 small block?

Throttle cable can clearly be seen just above the ecotec cover.
hmm, tempted to have a go at this myself!
Well, its the best of both worlds..... :thumb:Quote:
