Right, im not going to do an engine conversion or anything im just curious!
Lets say, i put a c20xe in replacment for my x14xe....
I would imagine the emissions would by considerably higher. Im not sure how the MOT works but i woiuld imagine there are certain limits for certain engines. Not knowing how strict they are, and the fact that is still registerd as a 1.4, would the 20xe pass on the 14xe emissions test?
Just wonder if people get a legit test for a non legit car!
Cheers

Would not pass.
some C20xe's don't need CATs either so it would fail even more
If you're going to do it, register it

I mean people tend to dump the engine in, and just have a 'cuztom str8 thru' as its alot easier.
Has anyone adapted a CAT to fit the xe engine and a standard corsa ehauxst/aftermarket one?

Any garage that specialise in exhausts should be able to do that for you.

Of course mate, but im saying if someone did this, then sent it for an MOT, would it pass its emissions as the 1.4? (i would imagine it would be at the high end or the scale but.....)

Ive had my LET passed while it was a 1.4 on the log book, I just told the garage that it was a 2l and they did the relivant test for that engine. I didnt change the details on the log book before the MOT because the DVLA are wankers and take months to do anything and I would have run out of tax waiting for the log book back

That makes it ok then
You do realise your insurance is not valid, so you may as well drive without tax as well.

To make it pass an MOT..... I thought, even though it clearly had a 2.0 under the bonnet, they would test it as per the orginal engine due to unregisterd engine conversion.
but obvious not accoring to that lad with the LET

Erm............Your wrong!
If it's insured as a 2.0 it doesnt matter what it says on the log book.
