turns out the 8v aint wat i thought it was, so im back on the idea of the 16v, anyone know how hard a conversion it is?

i think its a straight swap, just make sure you have the transponder key and wiring

if you do a search using the novaload search function you shoul dbe able to find all the info you need without sat there talking to yourself on a thread;) :thumb:

Mounts/Shafts are a straight swap.

Only things you'll need to do is some wiring (how much depending which 16v engine it is)
And mod the downpipe/exhaust to fit a nova system.

The hardest thing will be making sure you get the right key chip and the pick-up module that mounts to the steering column if it has an immobiliser built-in to the ecu, other wise its pretty much a straight swap.
