nova sport head on E16SE

[staggy_gsi]

will a nova sport head with the twin 40's work on an E16SE block and will it give a power increase or would i be wasting my time. i might have the chance to get the head dirt cheap thats all

[bieransri]

think youd be worse off to be honest as the 1.3 heads have square shaped ports and the later round/oval ports of the gsi/gte and sri are better

[SRlew]

is the sri and gsi head the same?

[Adam]

A nova "sport" head is entirely std, same as 1.3L head.
It has cathedral ports.

You would loose power fitting that.

Keep the e16se head, best ports, and huge valves.

Lew-Sri and gte/gsi heads are the same, apart from slight changes for lower compression on gte/gsi engine, and some have EGR valve hole.

would fitting the 1.6 head to an sri see any gains, ? in any way?

[Adam]

No gains, you'd loose power as the 1600 head has lower compression.
SRi head is best of the bunch as std, as good as/better than a worked/ported etc 1300 head.
