just seeing what peoples opinions are on these. wouldnt mind an 8v out of a cavi sri 130, SEH engine?
miss the old 8 valvers. easy enough to put into a sport? never fitted one of these engines before. help would be much appreciated.

Iv always wanted to fully strip a corsa out and put in a tuned 8v for knockhill, think it would be pretty sweet

i would run an XE. most of them up here are rammers, plus is a change from a redtop. if and when i do. think my goal would be to outrun a redtop. maybe a bit ambitious........

Its not different nowadays.

XE/LET/SEH etc are all common conversions.

Its more down to budget.

Could get an SEH and tune it to XE power with a cam,exhaust,chip etc,but then the over-all cost would be more than what it would be fitting an XE.

Im not a fan of the SEH,don't like how it looks in the Corsa engine bay.Looks old and tatty.Not to mention the sound of the XE with a 2" system and de-cat is like nothing else.Has the distinctive valver twang.

Only time i would pick an SEH is if i was planning a home-brew turbo build.

I say, if you've got the 2.0 8v motor already then fit it, but if not and you have to source one just source an XE

There was a c20seh on the bay a couple days ago with everything needed to be put into nova/corsa, ready waiting on a pallet to be shipped.

Yeah, like others have said, pretty hard to find a c20seh engine now a days, best of buying a donor car if you can find one of those as well lol.

TBH the SEH sounds much better than the redtop, much deeper....the redtop sounds pretty raspy and gay tbh.
