Where do you get the 1.8 from?

Easy to fit?

What car is it from etc?

To you yes, as you think everything is expensive

But it's pretty reasonable to do.

At a guess...

Newer engine (less to go wrong, parts more accessable), lighter than the 2.0.

Not a lot more power than the 1.6 though. 128bhp i think.

Pretty much pointless for so little power gains. Probably best with a 2.0

z18xe in the corsa C
123bhp

vectra b used the x18xe that is almost the same as the x20xev

Astra G also uses the x18xe but the astra H uses the z18xe as does this new tigra sport.
