bit of a ball ache i think, something to do with corsa ignition and anti theft thingy i think

[novarobbo]

do you think the easiest route would be just to buy a nova gsi engine and stick that in..

[hendrix]

yes

[novarobbo]

so how much work is there putting a gsi engine in a 1.2??

[Chris]

not too much work at all, and I have one for sale with full grp N ashley exhaust, and it is only 25miles away

C16XE is as easy as the Nova 1.6 to be honest.

Im interested in the same sort of conversion myself actually... Ive got a 1.6 cavalier with the lump in, but i would like to put it in my nova... But i wasnt sure if i was just dreaming or if it is actually possible? :o

It depends, i'm sure some of the other 1.6 lumps have different mounts.

Take a look at Jim's, Dan's features or even mine.

We all have 1.6's running on T40's. Basically standard XE power without the weight. (mines not quite xe power yet) and it really doesn't cost very much at all. I don't have a bad thing to say about mine. Pulls very well, handles right

youve got a 1.6 carb engine there (well more than likely anyway).... it "could" be a big block 1.6 with that lol
