there was a rumour i could be done but it never got past a rumour. Don think there is a modern head that bolts on, it would be cheaper to buy a ca18det

the 1.6L n15 motor (g16de)

they are based on the e15. Would be a bit different conversion

panda i know mate is cheaper to buy a ca18det...but the target is to make powerfull a e15t ...next solution when one day i will finish with the e15t is a 2.0l turbo but untill that day i will like to work with e15t.....et rider if yo can find the link mate it will be very usefull!!!!i was think too for a ga16 or a ca 16 for try..any way it will be much easier if someone knows something for sure!!!!
(come on evan give us your light's)!!!

ga16 uses a timing chain this makes difficult to interchange

but they use the same head bolt configuration
oil gallerys and feeds are different

best of with a full ga 16 conversion

I think the only thing that carries over from the 'E' series to the 'G' is the fact that they both have pistons and valves!

This has been looked at before a few times, I know for fact that the CA has different bore spacings than the E15, and I have pics showing the G gasket differs from the E. Although this is a negative in the twin cam head quest, (and I would say the internet won't give any better), don't let this stop you in getting phyisicaly out there and checking things out in the flesh. I would give my right arm for a twin cam head.

me too damo..but i hope there is something that fit's... especialy an twin cam head......that will be great...but looks very strange to me hat so many years of tuning with e15t engine inaus no ones find a solution for that...i say that cause in greece in some models for example fiat punto gt ,they were 8v turbo and they ajust head from 16v engine ..what i want o say is that from country to country they are diff cars that people love to moddifie..for e15t aus is one way ithink and long way for me sure!!!hi hi hi

The reason it hasnt been done here is that it truly isnt worth the effort or money, and there isnt a similar head that will fit. To be fair CA18dets are cheaper and the N12 isnt popular so the easy option is always taken.
