X14XE/X16XE into nova. Tricky?

[Stanley]

upon choosing an engine ive decided i want to go for either the X14 or X16XE.

on a serious scale, how tricky is this to fit?

both physically and electronically.

cheers

[Adam]

Physically straight in, just mod downpipe to exhaust join.

Electronically, need the immobilliser transponder/key.
The rest of the wiring is just like any other conversion.

[Stanley]

il prob be running an F13 from a 1.4SR. will that go straight on too?


ive got a 1.2i at the moment.

guessing il need full loom from corsa, vectra etc etc too

[Adam]

Fit a MPI pump to your 1.2i tank.
You will just need the engine loom.

Just leave the box on that comes with the engine, F15 i think.

[Stanley]

its just the engine that im getting

i work at a scrappy and we have a few of these in stock (pre-dismantled)

shall i fit a carb tank and an external pump, cavvy etc etc?

[Adam]

The engine alone is no good, you need the ignition barrel and chip out the ignition key of the donor vehicle.

Keep your SPI tank, and use a internal pump off a astra/cav.

[Stanley]

righto

IIRC its out of a 95 corsa.

did they have the chip keys then?

just running through thing incase i do go ahead with it.

?200 for engine with 60K on it

valve stem oil seals.........(14/6XE's burn more oil than saddam)

[Adam]

It will probably be a x16xe then, early corsas had c16xe.

So yep, it will have the chip key etc.
