    Default Bhp increase...

    Is it cheaper for me to insure a 2l nova that was origionally a 1.0?

    Or if it was originally a 1.6 gte?

    As the power increase chart thingy?

    Discuss...

    you need to fully declare the engine conversion or the insurance will be void! Edit, not read correctly, it'll be classed as to what the engine is out of, ie astra gte etc.

    Most specialists will base rate the premium on where the donor engine came from.

    i told them it was a modified engine from a mariva with a c16 ecu to get passed the imob stuff

    thats why my insurance was under £300 a year even with the charger
