14XE and 16XE Smallblock 16v Turbo Engines

[novarally]

Any links welcomed to threads or websites with information on these please?

I think Chris Compton had one in his Nova, but I haven't got around to doing any searching yet.

Mostly I want to see what people have done in terms of inlet and exhaust manifolds, as I am now planning on building a short-stroke 1000cc engine based on a 1600 16v.

Thanks

Thanks, but that kit is for an 8v engine (I've already got a turbocharged 8v, see my 'Project' thread!)

If it comes to it I will just get alternative fixing flanges made up to adapt my 8v stuff to fit the 16v (the port spacings are identical), but I just wanted to see how other people had done it, or if there happened to be any 'off the shelf' stuff available.

ahh misread sorry

I thought I'd read somewhere that the Corsa Z16LER exhaust manifold bolts on? Should be easy to check with a gasket from Vx.

Phaser, is correct the manifold from the corsa VXR bolts streight to the X16xe cylinder head :-)

Does it really?! That's great news, thanks.

Now, who has a Corsa VXR exhaust manifold going spare please?..........
