well in my opinion not worth the c20xe engine too heavy get the x16 and mod the nads out of the engine and it will be reallly quick easy get one of them to 180 bhp

but dispite the cost of the c20xe and getting a good one it will cost u alot to make the car ready you will need new brakes strenthen the chasie new ecu and loom im not sure if u need a new gearbox and clutch and it will be fast but expensive


hope it helps pal

[dancotton2003]

if u really want 1

u will have to buy engine clutch gearbox ecu looom new brakes strenthen your chasie ur looking at about 400 for a sweeet engine and then about 300-400 to get the car sorted

you are lookin about £1000-1500 all in.

to do it properly that is! you could be an idiot and just throw the engine in tho....

[dancotton2003]

and thats not worth it

im geussin all this work would have 2 be done to a 1999 1.6sport too? or are they better equiped..

[Chrex]

yea its all the same.

you would still have to change the engine mounts, different shafts and CV's, get an exhaust section sorted, custom gear linkage, re-jig electrics, strengthen chassis, uprate brakes, tyres and suspension accordingly, and of course the engine service.
