i have a C16xe Gsi..and i want to get the Mantzel powerbox, which comes with a lower inlet manifold which the X16XE already has apparently??
will the full mantzel powerbox kit for the C16xe fit the X16xe???
whats the difference between the one for the C16XE and the X16XE??
im asking this because i may need a engine conversion as my engine has bad oil consumtion problems and may need a full rebuild!! and instead i may aswell get a another engine put in! which is likely to be a X16XE as C16Xe is rare to find

yes it will fit, the one for the C16xe is more expensive as it includes a new lower part of the manifold (as found on an x16xe)

so if i bought Mantzel inlet for the X16xe and got the lower inlet manifold of another X16xe corsa from the scrappy i would save myself about £100 and it will still all fully fit fine on my C16xe engine right??

yes ur right there. the manzel works better on the c16xe than the velso, by about 3bhp, on the x16xe they are the same.

there is one issue though, the X16XE manifold has the EGR ports on them which aint used on the C16XE when ya buy the kit ya get a blanking plate and gasket to block off this port its star shaped, bet courtney would sell ya one cheap though and the gasket is just a standard one, alternatively make one, there are a couple of differences on the actual power box, but these also can be bought seperate i bet and are only small, the X16XE requires another outlet from the box im sure so ya get a brass screw in plug to block this, it can be done but make sure ya got all the bits first
