Go for the X20XEV, its stronger than the XE but doesnt give as much power..

The 2.2's (X22XE, Y22XE) are about the same as the XE when it comes to peak power but its availble much lower down the rev range.

The 8v's apparently are good on fuel, and strong engines

Be different, go for the 2.0 or 2.2 eco and put a project thread up.

I'm currently looking for a frontera 2.2 to utilise the engine.

the X22XE is nippy enough in a frontera.
Imagine it'd be good fun on an f16 in a corsa
