Anyone got any tips or advice when putting a 1.4se in a nova

[Andy]

make sure you remember to tighten the bolts.

Hahah very funny

Think is pretty straight forward just not sure if like you have to change fuel pump or anything major I don't think you need to

[Iain]

Need to know what you're starting with before being able to give advice on those things.

I've got a 1.2i merit + single point injection was hoping to put a 1.4se in with the multi point injection on it

[Iain]

Good stuff. So once you've swapped out the engine fit the 1.4 mpi engine loom and splice it into the spi wiring. There's plenty of it on an spi so should find the right colours!

It'll be an in tank pump so get an mpi pump from a mk3 astra.

Splice means join the new engine loom to the existing 1.2 loom. The 1.2 ecu is discarded

Does the engine loom plug into the the 1.2 loom then using the connectors

[Iain]

You'll use the 1.4 ECU and loom, and join the correct wires to the 1.2 loom. It won't be plug and play.
