Why bother changing the engine then :boggle:

Even if the current ones fucked just replace with the same motor

probably not worth the hassle and cost for that little power increase

Something to do with the canbus/cambus (cant remember which its called) system. Dave A and beardy were having a chat about it on here a month or so ago, could be worth searching for.

Im not sure if the immobiliser and such cause problems :boggle: So in theory ANY engine swap will cause the same problems

From what I've seen, even another corsa engine can be a nightmare to fit in terms of wiring...ask chazsxi on here

how hard is it to drop a bigger engine into a corsa c 1.0 12v

i mean a engine from another corsa c, say 1.2 16v etc

whats involved, wiring wise??

and will the 1.0 12v gearbox mate upto the 1.2 16v engine ?
