Searched both on here and google but not much came up....

My mate's got a Mk3 Astra with a C14NZ in, and I've got an internally lunched E16SE engine sat idle.

For the funnies, we were thinking about taking the complete MPI system, including cam, off the E16SE engine and slamming it on the C14NZ.

Now, I've heard of a couple doing this before so I'm sure someone knows something about it, and due to these engines being fitted in Novas at some point I thought I'd ask on here about it.

Do we reckon the MPI off the E16 will be too "juicy" for the 14NZ bottom end?

I had a corsa sri years ago, and the 14se bottom end had been replaced with one from an spi, didnt run right (apparently the compression ratio is different?) Instead of wasting time/money on it i rebuilt an e16se and swapped it.
