would it be worth doin a 1.8 conversion.

i have been offered a x18xe, which is the ecotec 1.8 16v 115bhp engine. v tuning do a metch kit but i was wondering if it was worth doing?

are there many tuning products for this engine and would i see a decent power gain??

Newer engine, ask painz about tuning bits i know u can get a decent inlet and it will unlock a few bhp.

But as brad says XE is popular for a reason

yer i know the xe is popular because of the power there and avalible with small tuning but i fancy something different and already rang a few insurance companys and its workin out slighlty cheaper as well. as i'm a student i want a faster car but also need to be cheaper than an xe

I'm sure you could put it on throttle bodies... Get a bigger inlet or make one e.t.c..... Would be worth it. Have you looked into wiring the engine in though?
