So if i had the astra engine it would go in easily??What other bits would i need.One of those engines should be easy to source. | |

I will get an insurance quote for an sri and see what it is.Knowing what irish insurance prices are like it will be too much as usual. | |

I have spent a lot of money on my car as it is so rather than try and sell it and not get what i want i might as well put the engine in it.Anyway i would have to go to the uk to buy a car or an engine anyway. | |

Would a standard SRi not be easier to insure? | |

Just buy the car with the engine in it you want... No point in doing a swap like that, you can say bye bye to selling the car easily and it will be difficult to insure. | |

not sure mate, its a good engine, nice and torquey low down with some good power up top for an 8valve, have a look at my pics | |

Most probably is the same engine. Engine codes for the early corsa 1.4s are | |

Is the 1.4 8v mpi engine out of an astra the same as an 8v sri engine.Would the astra engine go straight into my car. | |

Well i can get the engine put in for free and in ireland insurance costs are outrageous so i would be delighted to have an sri engine.Its not like the uk where you can insure a redtop for reasonable money. | |

lets see - 45 bhp, to 80-odd? Seems worthwhile to me... Much better engine, my mates got one with filter, exhaust etc, and its fair quick | |

can u see the benefit of spending all that time and money on 0.2 of an engine? | |

The 1.2 8v is a very dead engine and i'd say an sri engine would make a big difference to the car. | |

I imagine it'd be fairly straighforward to do the swap, want to do it on mine too. | |

I have a 1995 1.2 8v corsa and i was wondering if it is straight forward to put a 8v sri engine into my car.As i live in ireland insurance prices are colossal and a 1.4 is all i can go up to.Would an engine be hard to source from the uk.If this is possible what would people think of a full janspeed exhaust system.Would it make much difference to the car.Any feedback would be welcome.Thanks. |
