[LUV2XLR8]

sorry for the bother again, but the 1.4 sr engine i was going to buy isnt for sale any more :(
so any advice on a good powerfull engine would be grteat, im after something on carbs but nothing more than a 1.6
its goto go into my spi nova :D
any advice would be appreciated :thumb:

[Adam]

1.6 on 40s.

[LUV2XLR8]

cool, would i get a 1.6 from a gte/gsi? or are there any other sort of 1.6 apart from the spi i can get?

[Adam]

Ye, use a GTE/GSi engine.

[LUV2XLR8]

cool, if i were not to use t40's would i be able to use a twin choke single carb?

[Stuart]

if your not going to use T40's then stick with the MPI system

[Adam]

Ye, either T40s, or stick with MPI.
MPI is much much better than a single carb.

alright mate, have you considered the xe range such as the 1.4 works well in novas

[LUV2XLR8]

whats that the 16 valvers?
im not overly keen on the wireing. does anyone know where needs strengthening in the engine bays?

[buxton_nova]

yeah 1.4 valver, iv seen one in this months TV, is there much wireing involved?

[SuperNova!]

1600sv small block engine out of a cavalier or astra the make good power and are easy to get, they come fitted with twin choke pierburgs standard

[LUV2XLR8]

would that be a cavelier befor 1992?
