i can tell you now that is a 1.0 litre engine m8 - its a lot smaller as its only got 3 cylinders nt four :)

however yup there is another engine that looks similar and thats the 1.6 which is found in the corsa sport, thats an ecotech the same as the pic

1.2 16v will pull alot beter 1.4 16v ent to much faster than the 1.2 16v
the 16v engines look the same just bit bigger
most of the ecotec engines look the same as the 1litre
