yeah when i did a 2.0 i dont remember having to take the dash loom out so was confused so is the 1.0 to 1.6 gona be the same chopping wires and color coding or is it just plug and play? :) | |

quote: you have not looked it up properly mate, do a little research its just a case of chopping wires and colour coding them. Ive just finished a 1.0 to 2.0 conversion and have done a 1.4 to 2.0 conversion also. No dash loom needs replaced just causing a little too much hassle for yourself. | |

cheers mate ill speak to him tommorow pretty sure hes gona have epas tho and he isnt gona really want to swap it :\ but ill speak to him if he doesnt what do you mean you cant use the normal dash loom? as far as im aware i would be stripping out the old engine and wiring loom then putting in the new engine and wiring loom pluggin in the ecu and away you go..(knew about the transponder and key chip) we got the radiator, pipes, dials, exhaust and drive shafts | |

The first thing you need to think about with this conversion is what type of steering rack setup you want to use and what you want to do in terms of wiring as its not plug and play as said above. What spec model is your mates car? | |

so is that as you would do for the redtops? also how hard is it to put the rev counter clocks on to a corsa just a simple swap over? | |

You dont need to change dash looms. You can pull the wires back inside the car and connect them as normal. | |

Its not as easy as u may think for starters u will need to change the dash loom because the ecu ports on the 1L an 1.2 16v r different to the 1.6 16v ecu (u will need a 1.2 8v dash loom). other then that yes its just fit one engine to the other. An no the f20 is to high a ratio I'd recommend a f15 if he wants top end speed or a f13 (which he has on the 1L anyway) if he is after acceleration. | |

hello all, question might of been asked a thousand times but thought i would ask... my friends thinking of doing a 1.0 to 1.6 conversion is it a good idea to use the f20 gearbox on the 1.6 engine also to my knowledge its a simple bolt in plug ecu and away you go would i be right in thinking this? |
