You chose the best option imo then :)

:! I remember this post!

I ended up waiting a year and going for the 2.0!

ive done the same to mine and tbh i wasnt really that impressed the money i spent tuning and fitting a 1.6 i could of easily fitted a 2.0 for less

i would not bother doing a 1.4 to 1.6 conversion as its not much quicker really unless you spend thousands getting the power up much cheaper and easier to drop a 2.0 in

how many mpg do ya get in a 1.6 if ya drive sensible as im thinking of gettin a conversion next year too

over 4 years old mate :o:lol:

If you have a corsa sport 1.4 then its easy just swap the bottom end for a 1.6 one and get ecu remapped to 1.6 still works on 1.4 ecu though

Not sure how to link to another post but it explains what happened on the botom of page 3 in General Chat. The post is called 'I'm so happy! Not anymore!'

I have done! They said to me earlier it wouldn't change on a 2.0litre! I put a post on here earlier and everyone said they made a mistake so I rang them again and they then said they wouldn't insure me!! This time I rang twice and both times they said the same thing so I asked for them to send it to me in writing!

did you ask them about a 2ltr conversion?

get them to put that in writing and send it to you!

I will lose out if I was to sell my car cos I've had a lot of work done to the looks as in full bodykit, smooth boot etc. It will cost more to put all that on a new 1.6 Corsa.

I've just spoke to my insurance company again which is Liverpool Victoria and they said my premium will not change if I was to put a 1.6 in!

the way i look at it is that yes as a straight swap the 2l offers the best return for your money- but you have said you cant get insured so.....get 1.6 and spend next couple of years adding to it rather than just waiting for 2l- you can get thwe 1.6 bloody fast

however at 18 i fear for your insurance even on 1.6

Yeh Man, Just Wait It Will be Well Worth The Wait :) Only A Year :lol: 12 Months

got quite agood thread about this running on page 2 in general chat- has answers to lots of common questions

sell ur car and buy a 1.6 if u want a 1.6

do it or buy mine :)

probably cheaper anyway to get a 1.6 sport or gsi than a transplant

yeah but by the time you get the 1.6 to 150/160bhp you could already have the 2.0 and start tuning it to be even higher which is 150bhp standard for a red top

highly tune the 1.6 and get it to about 150/160bhp and it'll whip 2 litres,coz the 1.6 is lighter...

Dont bother wait a year or two then get the 2.0...1.6 is nippy but not lightning...

im not totally sure but i think a 1.6 engine may actually be more expensive than a 2.0. your best bet would be to wait another couple of years and then do the conversion

I was hoping to do the 2.0litre conversion but cos I'm only 18 can't find anyone to insure me!:mad:

So now I'm looking at doing the 1.6 conversion! Want I want to know is, is it really worth doing? Will it put a grin on my face everytime I put my foot down?!

I've spoke to Lee Mitchell and he says he will be able to carry the conversion out ;) but I don't know where to get the engine from?

Any help would be much appreciated! :thumbs:
