1.6 16v ecotec help

[blacknovagsi]

eyup, im lookin at duin a bare shell rebuild on my nova and whilst im at it swappin my 1.6 8v for a 1.6 16v from a corsa/tigra or similar. my problem is im not sure if the 16v will bolt straight up to the f13 box that i'v currently got. Also is there much in the way of wiring? i know il need the manifolds and loom and ecu. any help would be really appreciated cheers

F13 should fit, when I removed my 1.6 16v engine from the nova iirc it only had 3 wires connected to the nova loom.

I'm pretty sure the F13 will fit, but if you have the option, check what box is attatched to the engine you're buying, it might have a cr f15 bolted to it, if so, I'd spend a little extra and get that box aswell.

Wires-wise I'm pretty sure there'll only be about half-dozen to join in to the nova loom.

F13 fits fine
