What wires do you need to attach up when you fit it? I've got one waiting to go in complete with ECU etc, but need to know what to attach where tho. | |

Aye if this was an mpi (as in a corsa sri model) then it'd be a nice easy swap, few extra bits with mine being an spi lol :( | |

I've just put a C16SE (8v MPI) into my (ex 1.4) Corsa SRi and it was pretty much problem free.....even used the original loom :thumbs: | |

good point i spose... yeah an 8v would be cheap, infact I'd be tempted buy a rotton nova gsi for the engine then break the rest of the car, seems a good way get an engine to me easily and quickly lol :) | |

Sweet, I'm assuming if I went the 1.6 16v tho I'd need this return pipe? | |
