whats the differance? all i know about these engine really is that the mk2 sri cavs had a 130bhp engine... but been told its all down to the ECU so if i got a 130bhp ECU it wouldnt be 115bhp anymore... not sure how true this is

the 115 ne is a lower compression. Better engine if you want to smash a turbo on it. Other wise get the 130. More than just an ecu in difference.
