It depends what your after power wise,

Since your already wired and set up for it an x18xe will bolt in to the x14xe mounts and will see 120hp, 130-140 with a decent set of mods

Or go for a redtop and see 150 standard, I'd do 1.8 just to be different from the rest of the big engine corsa's


1.8 will just bolt in aswell but the 2.0 is abit of work to fit

90's vectra b or very early astra coupe should have one :)

Just make sure it's cable throttle and it's probably a x18xe

I'm 99% sure there are only Internal differences between the xe and xe1 so it should fit :)
