i think it is yea however i do have a 2.5 v6 MSD tuning lying around but think that would be a hell of alot of work

[_Jake]

not much difference in work really, i think hobbits got a 3.2 in his lol

i just want something that is easy to swap over in all honesty

If you want easy lob a 1.6 16v in

If you want easy lob a 1.6 16v in

will i not have to change the fuel lines over tho with the pressure and all that? may be a dumb question but im not 100 sure

You'll have to change your tank lines and pump xe isn't a massive job but would needs much work as a 1.6 16v to fit it

Unless you run the engine you fit on carbs then your will have to change your tank
