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.Originally Posted by LEWI007
V6 Will be the best most horsepower for the cheapest and easiest fitting, unless anyone has a better suggestion ?

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
i wonder if i can get 150bhp from a 1.6 16v for £1.5k including buying another engine and rebuilding it
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!
