Take its the c16sei then, any disadvantages in this to the c16se and will it drop in the allspeed frame?

[Grimmy@JHE]

that engine doesnt have 16v. it is an 8v version.

Nova GTE - E16SE
Nova GSI - C16SE

Both 1.6 8v's, main difference is that one uses Bosch parts, and the other doesnt .... cant for the life of me remember which.

You can also get a (rare) C14SE.

C16NZ is a single point 'injection' model (not true injection) - the one pictures is multi-point injection. Both this and the 1.4 C14NZ are very common engines, but not very powerful.

Terry's bhp outputs are correct.

oh yeah i know its 8v..lol..just wandered if fitted same as the mk3 astra c16se engine : )

[Rob Himself]

It is indeed in the phase 1 ... phase 2's had X16XEL - 16v.
