Drilled air box K+N panel Iridium plugs Head skimmed Uprated leads de-cat

if this is all uv had done to it i can tsee how it beats them with ease

Can be a bit difficult to pull away sharply in the valver engines, cause of lack of anythign under 3k, and a few ppl don't like slipping the clutch in.

mjw, you will need a new gearbox though :)

im in a similair position mate, ive got a 1.2 8v tho(130000miles), and lookin to put a 1.4 in, just gotta save up a bit first!

all the same gearbox and driveshafts anyway.

Yeah the mount on the chassis leg is different, but that wouldn't be a problem, use the mounts that are in the car currently, just swap the engine as said, gearbox etc... don't need to be touched.

can still put 8v mounts on a 16v lump tho:thumbs:

one of the engine mounts is different on the 16v corsas isnt it?

you will hav to make sure u get the Transponder, Chip and ECU or u will be fucked... i hav a spair on, let me know if u need one

use mounts from old 8v engine... u wont retain pas but thats for wimps:lol:

would the engine mounts and chassis legs be the same as the car is an 8v chassis? i had this problem when trying to put a 1600 16v in my 1400 8v sri

new lump will mate directly to old box... just about the same block anyway i think:thumbs:

no compression, its on 110000 miles anyway so would rather not spend money on it

i thought it needed new gearbox and shafts?

yeh ive been told that everything i need will come with the engine, ive got a mate doing a mechanics apprenticeship so i reckon we could both do it

could we do it in a day?

would i notice the difference powerwise?

whack it in there... reason it thru, and ure sorted:thumbs: 16v lump is 90bhp as standard 8v is 82 bhp, u'll need the header tank loom, blah blah...:thumbs: and a haynes manual wouldnt go amiss:D

i wouldnt bother if ur not very confident with a spanner. if it was something you could do in half a day however....

Ive currently got an 1.4 8v mpi engine in the corsa which is f****d

Ive been offered a 1.4 16v engine and gearbox etc... everything that i need

Is there any noticeable difference between these engines? Would i be able to do the swap myself as ive never attempted anything like this before?

and before people say it im only 17 so a bigger engine is out of the question until im a bit older
