Thread revival FTL

4 year old thread :)

wouldnt mind having a 1.4 16v in mine tbh..

anyone know a price approx it would cost?

ive got 1.4 16v sport and its not that fast i would go for 1.6 16v they are in tigra' 1.4 &16 they put the corsa sport engine ine the tigra's so get looking try ebay???
1.4 x14xe does 10 sec 0 to 6omph
1.6 x16xe does 9 sec 0 to 60mph that is a big differance because when your racing a saxo vtr lol

it dose i know im doing it now on mine

wirening o nthe x16xe and x14xe enines is the same so it wouldnt make a diff!

dont bother with a 1.6 in it mate try a 1.4 16v because the 1.6 engines a hard to get hold of at the right price with a low milage and the wrinig would take ages to

ive got just under a £1k so not an option

just by a gsi, save u the trouble + u get all the gsi extras

Cheers, probs is the engines dead so getting it somewheres a pain in the arse

you can put a 1.6 in, and tune it up to 2l standard with the rest of the money that a valver would cost.

it will hadle better, and insurance will be loads cheeper

Insurance at 21 isn't that bad... What is the max u'd be willing to pay?

its cost no where ner the 2l conversion.

lee mitchel quoted me £700 to put a 1.6 16v in my 12v, and its 1500 for a valver

try getting some quotes first, see how you get on

I know, but im 21, the insurance would cripple me im thinking

it will cost the same to put a 2.0 in mate, I'd go for that!

My enignes died and im in need of a new engine, what is needed to complete the conversion? and where can i get the parts from without paying silly £. And what approx are labour charges

Cheers
