Just a quick one

ive got a 1 litre nova and i was wondering how easy it would be to put a 1.2 engine from a corsa b in it

[mowgli]

dead simple, but the power increase will mean its hardly worth the effort.....

there is a thread about sticking a e16se in at the moment, the wiring rules will apply just the same, but you need the gbox & an injection type fuel tank

[Adam]

There is no power increase, both engines are 45brake

True, but the 1.2i has a very considerable advantage in torque (65ftlbs compared to the 1.0's 50ftlbs)

[draper]

by the time youve factored in insurance increases its not going to be worthwhile imho

and wiring the sh1t spi up too...

The extra 15lb/ft is hardly going to destroy tarmac.......

But to answer the original question, its straightforward.

For the price you will pay for insurance on a modified car you may as well fit a red top
