1.4 Astra Engine Into A Nova.

[Pete]

Basically i have a mk3 astra which wont sell :mad: so ive decided to do something with it, take the engine out of it and fit a 1.3 in and use it for autograss racing, but my main thing i need help with is,

What would i need to get/use of the astra to fit it into the Nova?

Pretty sure that the 1.4 engine your talking about was fitted in Novas, Astras and Corsa's The 1.4 8v engine.

But i dont know what you would need ill make a beginner list and let someone edit/add on lol

Engine
Box
Ecu
Loom

EDIT: what engine was in the nova before hand is it the 1.3 your putting in the astra? If so isnt the 1.3 carb feed?

Am trying to learn lol ^_^

Is it MPi or SPi, as 1 is slower than the standard Nova 1.4 engine lol

Hi-as above-if you're putting the nova 1.3 in a mk3 astra-presuming it's for a class 2 you'll need:carburettor,fuel supply to suit it,distributor and coil.The fuel inj will have to be removed.Double check your regulations-it may be illegal for class 2 as I don't think there was a 1.3 astra mk3.
If you're putting the 1.4 in the nova for a class 5 it depends on what spec you want for the engine-you could leave it on standard inj off the astra but you'll need an external fuel pump and smaller tank and the relevant ecu.A fwd class 5 is unusual nowadays. If you check the engine block as the cyl head face,at the distributor end of the engine it will have an engine code stamped in it-14nz is 60hp,14se is 80hp-the 14se is the mpi engine

My nova isnt goin to be auto, the nova is goin to be road legal, the astra is goin to be auto

Your nova is a 1l then you will also need an injection tank and fuel pump found from injection novas (example gsi nova) Or you carbing it or something?
