View Full Version : Gsi engine or gsi?
Right guys, im trying to find a 1600 gsi engine for my nova. HAving a lot of trouble with people messing me about, sellers miles away etc..
Im thinking about just buying a gsi and getting the engine etc and breaking the rest of it.. Peoples opinions please, would i make enough money back on it from selling bits on?
Buy an engine.
Way too much hassle, finding a good car with tidy, saleable bits would be hard imo. And if you do it'll be overpriced due to it's increasing rarity. Plus you'll have to deal with finding somewhere to strip, then advertising/selling/posting parts etc.
find a lump, plenty in the astra 3's and stuff
none buy a 1.6 16v instead of a 8v :thumb:
aye but i heard its small...... lol
jay gsi lumps are a piece of piss to find in mk3 astras
Fit a 1.4 16v, a lil different still as most people do the 1.6 16v.

i have an engine jay but your abit to far away mate, it shouldnt be that hard to get an engine. try a scrapyard for a 93 astra 1.6 8v its the same as a gsi coilpack engine irrc...

Don't put a GSi engine in it. They're tat and slow. lol

People fit the 1600 16v instead of a 1400 16v as its just as much work to fit the 1600 and its 20bhp more as standard.
But cheaper tax and a tad more MPG
who cares, might save you £50 a year! but the engines are harder to find so probably cost more.

This man speaks sense!

Sell/strip your car and go out and buy a decent looked after GSI, then paint it blue like yours :D

i dont think you can go wrong with a 1.6 8v, go well and still let the car handle well enough. there are a few astras that have them, or if your going to do work maybe twin 40's?
