Mines a x16xe.
If yours has a metal upper inlet, and no air flow meter, it IS also a x16xe :thumb:

Cracked around 3 of the bolt holes, its pissing oil out with the engine sitting, so it would leak like fook with it running lol

Correct I do have the metal upper inlet but this has been attached to the C16. The wiring I have just acquired and AFM is for the C16. Its only a temporary fix anyway to get it running so I can get the bikecarbs on (when I saved some brass up for the ecu off sbd) :thumb:

Yup, so you have a x16xe which you are going to be running on c16xe management/ecu.... :)

:roll: So adam, is your cheap 20xe power starting to cost more money?
