Hey guys and girls, just wondering if some1 out there could help me out? I have a 1998 corsa with a 1.4 sport engine(X14XE) and i have had no end of problems with it so iv decided to purchase a 1.6 sport engine(X16XE), was just wondeing will it go straight into place without having to get a different gearbox, ecu etc? Also would bits like cylinder head and timing belt fit onto the X16XE engine from thje X14XE engine? Cheers guys and girls.

have you just got the bottom end of the x16

the x14 head will fit straight on so will the gearbox.

same fittings but not sure if they are trhe same ratio or top speed.

dont bother with the X14 head, its got smaller ports, so you'll be making an X16XEL

just put the X16XE in and lob the X14XE in the bin

right so i will need a transponder out of the car and the keys for the car? im a bit confused to how these transponder things work to be honest i just thot it would be a case of engine out, engine in, plug it in and booya its done. Getting a garage to do it anyway, ecu shouldnt be too hard to come by i dont think. If anyone else can think of anyhting else please post, cheers guys. P.S. Hey dez

in the key, you have a little black chip
on the ignition barrel, you have a little black ring

if you have a 1.6 ECU, you need the matching chip and ring, otherwise they will not work
