When at first I started to rebuild the 16xe i thought it would al be okay after getting the head fixed..

however the lump also seemed to be damaged at a later stadium..

so.. here are some pictures of whats been going on since i noticed it..

my christmass present:

Recently rebuilt c20xe
82 degr thermostat
allready in a corsa! so includes all needed parts!
std engine and ecu ecept for the mtech sfi-replacement and K&N filter
including exhaustsystem etc...

because i\'ve never done it before.. it did take me alot of time to get the engine out without breaking stuff



but after a few days of cursing it was ready to get welded:

Copied the M-Tech chassis strenght kit







Going to paint the entire engine bay again so dont mind the brown goo

rented a box for the rest of the work.. I think the engine will go in this upcomming weekend



some days later...














another day later...

modified x16xe airco radfan:


and since last saturday it finally drives!


the radhose fits perfect!



started and running!

top work

i want a set of them plates
looks spot on very tidy and good progress

haha

everyone wants a set of those plates

yes I would also like some of those plates please too

lookin good work though! how would you compare any handling differences between the small & large blocks??

in comparission to the mantzelled 16xe the handling has improved..

However, I do know that a fully tuned 16xe with TB\'s would handle better. This because of the lower weight upfront, and better lower-revs performance then a mantzelled 16xe

I have a set of those plates... fitted

Another convert from the smallc0ck, sorry smallBLOCKxe brigade only jokin Mr Broster.

excellent progress pics there.

some new pics

and from today:

lookin well there keep up the good work..and keep the updates coming

got bored with the red paint and tried to change it..

lol liking the white textured effect over smooth red its the whole new rage u have just started now lol

yes however this type of paint isn\'t long lasting

for some odd reason this morning it had completely disapeared
