1.4 16v

[James1]

I wa looking to fitting a 1.4 16v and was wondering if people could tell me anything that i need to do. I don't want injection and i am looking to have more torque rather than speed. What sort of BHP am i looking at getting. I have a 1.4sr at the moment. Anybody Help?

8 valves tend to be torquer than 16v at lower revs...
whats up with injection?....
click on www.velosmotorsport.co.uk there you can see what power you can get. or www.sbdev.co.uk

it'd prob be cheaper getting a 1.6 8v/16v. U have more horsepower to start with and money u save on modding 1.4 to go towards insurance.

am actuall considerin the 1.4 16v as i want to keep me cheap tax but am keepin the injection
so what will be needed can i use the same gearbox ect

if u mean quicker off the line than top speed then ul want a lower final drive ratio such as a 4.18.

its an easy conversion into a nova

says he who wants me to fly back to the uk to fit one for him lol



ps the FD change is a piece of wee wee to do, look back a few pages and theres the instructions
