1.2 i has only 45bhp when new, they will struggle up a hill compared to a carb version.

the 1,2 spi is crap..... its not worth wasting much money on if you are fitting a bigger engine.... but has the timing been played with?? the dizzy controls both the injection & spark. then there is the coolant temp sensor, and lambda sensor.

anyway, with an spi nova, you simply need the whole corsa & not the engine on its own.

you need the full engine loom including the immobiliser thing off the ign.
the fuel lines & pump from the corsa tank (it needs a little cutting off it to fit properly iirc
then the engine & box will fit in. its up to you how many things like power steering & aircon you might need, then you most likely will need to do something with the drive belts.

[james-barnes1]

using the corsa mount or nova mounts and what problem do younget with the drive belts.

also with the engine loom i assume i would need to join all the wires as it wont be plug and play

have a look at this.
