Straight swap my friend, just having my X14XE removed and getting a X16XE dropped in place of it. i got my engine off of carquipe uk or something, 400 bucks inc delivery under 40000 miles too, great bunch of guys, you can use the X14XE ecu as it apparently has the same maps and limiter etc | |

if the big ends have gone you need to be asking yourself why. Just banging another set in is rectyfying the effect not the cause. You probably have oil pump or crank issues there too. As such it may be easier to plump for the 1.6 | |

It's best to change the ECU, although from what I've read on here you can use the 1.4 on the 1.6 | |

Straight swap, same mounts, same loom. But might be worth rebuilding the 1.6 while its out. don't wanna put another knackered engine in. | |
