can any one help,i have been told that u can get a 1800 red top engine (c18xe)aparently its like the 2l one but 1800 and red top not eco tec,at present it is in a satra gsi is this true?if it is a eco tec r they any good,it is 168 bhp
yeah its been serviced reguarly,its 168 bhp so would be quite quick?been chipped,i got a vectra 1800 that just like mine but mine has a black strip,there not eco tec r they,and do u no r they easy to get bits for?
Iv just changed my c18xe for a c20let but the c18xe is a very good engine and it can hold its own against the c20xe boys. The guy who i bought the car off had it rr'd and that shows 152bhp with an induction kit. but anyway its still good for killing vtr's and mgzr's and so on.
LOL yeah they are quite good engines from standard to be honest, I got the C18XE in mine and is surprising sometimes, is quicker than I expected, but still wont stop me ripping it out and fitting a 20XE LOL
Isn't the C18XE in the same boat as the C16XE - GM had to artificially reduce its output by fitting a restrictive intake to avoid it getting too close in power output to the 2 litre engines
