Nick, with all the best intentions in the world (please don't take this the wrong way either!) but i doubt a 16xe to xe/let/v6 conversion is going to be done in a weekend. If your x16xe is good, i'd spend some monies tuning it. Powerbox/cams/decent four branch and exhaust chip etc. or even turbo it?
20XE is the easiest power-per-fitment. V6 has too many niggles and not as much off the shelf stuff as the 2.0 16v.Quote:

True but i think its worth the extra carry for that extra 50HP.
Besides, how many XE Powered corsas and novas are on the road today.
the 16xe, has more leaks then a 20xe, its pissing out the crank seals, sounds like the bottom end has a knock, maybe something to do with the 6000+ rpm everywhere even when cold lol
i wonder if i can get 150bhp from a 1.6 16v for £1.5k including buying another engine and rebuilding it lol
With a turbo engine designed and built in your kitchen yes.
OR stick tb's onto the standard engine, give around 150 mark.
TBH, my 16xe with the powerbox was a decent engine, why not just replicate it!
Only a handful more than V6 ones? lolQuote:

Nick, you & I know both know what'll happen to this as soon as you remove its engine.
