looking for help fitting twin 40's to nova gsi engine

[t40nova]

how's it going guys had myself a 1.4 sr engine running twin 40's got the chance of a gsi engine now, will it just be a case of running my existing loom,dizzy ect.been told i'll have to port the inlet to the same shape as the ports on the head aswell and block egr off :thumb: hope i'm on the right track here not too clued up lol cheers dan

Yeah the 1.6 gsi engine has round ports and 1.4sr has square prob cheaper to get a new manifold

[mowgli]

buy a new manifold for the 1600 engine. they are always on ebay

Yes it will run fine with all of your original setup matey, some of the dizzy drives were different between engines but someone more clued up on slotted and pin drives might be able to answer that one lol

pretty sure it was a dizzy from a 16sv engine as the SR had the head off a 16sv on it

1600sv is square port mate as i running 40s on it same head as 1400 also corsa alt wiv extended bracket an bottom pulley works a treat

[t40nova]

i nearly put the full 16sv engine in after breaking the crank pulley bolt on the SR engine.came across a gsi engine so going with that on 40's now

Use the gsi head. There is a manifold on ebay just now, search vauxhall nova 1.6 gte manifold. you could port match your manifold to the head but probably not worth it. Has your carb manifold got square ports?

the 1600sv is high compression and holds revs longer an can take a royal thrashin but is not as fast to get there as the 1,4 lump i like the sv as its like a train just keeps going i would recomend use that also bhp is better also cambelt kit is 30 pound lol an so easy to work on also if u put gsi head wont marry up as not square ports also its compression is diff i really would wak the sv lump in mate imo cheers
