hi all just got a e16se engine and box and was wondering if my f10 from my 1.2 will fit on ? if not can i use the drive shafts in the new box ??

[Gibbo]

hi yes it will fit but id keep with the f13 and drive shafts are the same

[bigal1]

wicked thanks for your help mate was panicing a bit !!!!! thought was going to struggle as cant find any gte driveshafts anywhere ! will they be up to the job or are they all the same ? this is my first project so am a complete newcomer ! lol

Hi and welcome, good luck with the project hope to see some pics soon.

[bigal1]

no worries will post pics of the stages ! got hold of a 1.2 merit with full vauxhall service history and 1 owner from new with 61000 on the clock :) better still the in laws got it for me as a christmas prezzie !

No an F10 won't fit an E16SE, the 1.4 and 1.6 MPi engines have a larger flywheel/clutch and the starter motor is spaced further from the crank accordingly. Hence why the F13 is fitted to these engines as it has a larger bellhousing than the F10 :thumb:

Standard shafts will be fine and you won't have any worries about breaking them with a 1.6 8 valve lol

Welcome to PNG by the way pal :)

i had a 1.6 with a f10 in my saloon

[mk1nova_rich]

Well thats what I have been led to believe...as the F10 and F13 internals are the same, the only difference being the larger bellhousing for the SRi, GTE and GSi engines

[Novasport]

Correct

[bigal1]

cool so i poss have 2 options now ! if the drive shafts fit i will use them

[mk1nova_rich]

Driveshafts will fit either way pal :thumb:

[Gibbo]

dont know how it fitted then lol but now i know rich:thumb:

[bigal1]

fantastic ........car is in garage ready for 1.2 out on tue night and 1.6 in :) just need to sort out my fuel delivery and yay away we go ........well prob wont be that easy but wishfull thinking ! got a fasset external pump to fit :thumb:

[mk1nova_rich]

what pump have you got? and what mods (if any) are being done to the 1.6?

[bazil]

On the gearbox, I'd stick with the F13, my 1.6 had the wb gear cluster and the standard gsi diff and was poor to drive, the CR ratio box is much better

[bigal1]

got a fassett pump that a mate ran his clio williams turbo with and at the moment no mods will be done .....was told it has bigger injectors than standard by the guy got engine from but not sure

[bigal1]
