This range of kits has been specifically designed for the XE & ECOTEC engine of 1.6L capacity of 16-valve design. All these kits come complete with an MBE Ecu which is ready programmed & ready to use, however for our higher specification kits we would recommend a mapping session to fine-tune the engine.

They are both smoother than the 2.0L throughout the entire rev range with comparative increase in bottom end torque as well as substantial increases in power at the top end.

We have run these kits in a closed cell Dynamometer with various different exhaust systems and manifolds, so whatever vehicle you put them into and whichever manifold you use, we are in a position to supply a programme that will run it.

The addition of the taper throttles to this management system, on this remarkable little engine is startling and produces a greater power increase than the same modification does for the 2.0L. We have achieved a genuine 164bhp (standard engine is 109bhp) and still have not touched the engine. The engine is on song at very low revs, and has a torque curve which is virtually flat from side to side of the graph, whilst the power curve simply climbs at a very steady gradient.
