[chappers1.3]

when doing a swap from a 1.3sr to a 1.4sr engine, are there any different parts i will need to get. i have been told its a straight swap but is this correct??

also

would i be able to use my 1.3 gearbox with the 1.4 engine or is this not recomended??

cheers guys

Dont think its worth all that work, theres only 3bhp difference.....

[chappers1.3]

the 1.4 engine has been blueprinted thats all.

so is it a straight swap??

[Adam]

Should be a straight swap mate, probably the easiest engine conversion to do. but it ai't worth the hassle, for 3bhp. A 1.3 with performance exhaust and proper carb setup would probably equal the 1.4 anyway.

[chappers1.3]

even though the 1.4 has had work done to it??

would i get more gains if i put the carb and exhaust on the 1.4??

you'll get more than 3bhp from a 100cc increase in capacity.

Keep the 1300 head and manifold and use the 1400 cam and you will see about 5-9bhp increase. and quite a bit more torque, so it will accelerate quicker.

what does blueprinted mean?

rebuilt block..... rebuilt to the manafactuers original spec "back to the blue prints" kinda......... i think im prob wrong often am :cry:

you will need to change the coil and a bit of wiring i believe as the 1.3 uses Delco-remy ignition and 1.4 uses bosch. I may be wrong though
