Bhp increase...

[MattBrown]

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...

[John]

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.

[skyinsurance]

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

[Bubba]

is that found out by the engine number?

im guessing cally would be cheaper than astras n cavs then

[wwmnw]

Ahh learn something new everyday.

this is why my 1.6 16v come out from a mariva group 4 FTW lol

[MattBrown]

Ok, I thought it went on pwer increase, ie from 40bhp to 150 is alot more then from 110 to 150etc!

C16xe :cry: group 11 :cry:

[General Baxter]

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 lol

[Adam]

But technically a Meriva has a completely different engine :p

[General Baxter]

the blocks the same lol

[Adam]

And thats all lol lol lol
Its a totally different engine bar the CC

Be careful.. if an insurer suspects foul play (especially in the event of a claim) they will do some very careful investigations.

He's now sold the car. ;)

[General Baxter]

doubt ill clame now it gone

anyway they knew it had a c16 head, x16 lower inlet, cams, powerbox, but was all based on a mariva lol

[MattBrown]

So do I put my shell as a 1.0 or a gte?

As I'm still not sure if its cheaper as a 1600 as only a 30% power increase as opposed to a 200% increase!

[Adam]

Its a 1L yeah????

[MattBrown]

On the logbook!

But I have been offered a 1600 gte book, and if that makes the insurance cheaper, then i will go for that!

[Pistol Pete]

What engine do you have fitted to your 1l?

[Jack]

So do I put my shell as a 1.0 or a gte?
If its a 1.0, you tell them its a 1.0
If its a 1.6 GTE, you tell them its a 1.6 GTE.

Next question?

[edit] I feel your pain though, the guy at Direct Line was like WTF when I asked them for a quote on the Nova, as that went from 45bhp to 210. lol

[John]

So you've been offered a gte log book, and you're thinking of transfering the gte id to the 1.0 shell?

[Spudly]

That would be 'ringing' then and last time i checked it is highly illegal, silly boy!

[Lee H]

Has the guy with the logbook got a chunk of the floor with the chassis number on to weld into your 1.0 shell as well then?

Thought re-shelling was a big no-no in your eyes? You come across holier than thou!

[Andy]

[Rich]

Just do the conversion and dont tell the insurance, anything to stop these threads/posts!
