Re: who wants to turbo their 1.6?
I could be wrong but I think the main difference is in the block , the E-TECH II 16V is a cast iron block and the ECOTECH is aluminium , I'd also assume tuning differences but this would be no more of an issue for iether engine as both would need re-tuning/chiping for a turbo anyway.
Just my 5c's worth .
:lol:
Re: who wants to turbo their 1.6?
I'm not so sure that's all thats different, the 09 has a different throttle body and position. Not positive but I think even the cams are different.

Hi--wouldn't suprise me atall , I think the difference may be attributable to drive by cable on the E-TECH II and by wire on the ECOTECH , here's a pic of the E-TECH II , it shows the plastic intake manifold and throttle body more or less OK.

clik to enlarge.
I wish I had a damn manual , the Ruski pirated GM/Deawoo Europe manual link only covers up to the 1.4 motor.
:evil:
Re: who wants to turbo their 1.6?
Different Injectors too. Overall the differences are substantial enough.

Etech uses drive by wire.
Re: who wants to turbo their 1.6?
Etec II was only Drive by wire after 2006 I think. The only bad thing about it is we have a fast-acting clutch so it takes some getting used to to keep from engine "flaring" between shifts. There's a thread on here about it somewhere.

That has nothing to do with the clutch. It has to do with the delay in the drive by wire.

It does.
