will a 1.4 16v corsa/tigra engine fit in a 1.0 nova if so what parts are required

[Martin]

Yes it will fit..


you need engine box loom etc etc etc


Blah do a search and you find out.. also just the same as the 1.6 16v conversion

im currently putting one in my nova after stuffing my corsa x14xe,
i used nova mounts
gsi shafts and rad
coolant pipes are similar to a 2-litre conersion (a t-peice is needed to keep the nova header tank
mine was a non power steering model but in thinking bowt using an 8valve pulleys etc cos clearance is tight-
u need to get the imobiliser program removd from the ecu-theres a chap on here called ben-dont know him but hes been realy helpful,wiring seems same as 2litre conversion-i stuck ecu on shelf under dash
ive nearly finished mine but it looks like im gona have to remove he egr valve-apparently its useles anyway
ive gone into this blind but its not that hard-ill keep posting as i learn more-if ben reads this thanks a lot for the advice

You will also need to cut/weld the exhaust to fit.

And you'll need change the alternator pulley/bottom pulley iirc to a single v.

i used a multi v-pulley on mine, and it doesn't foul the chassis leg.

Heres a pic of my 1.4:thumb:

Can get away with the multi-v if you have solid mounts stopping the engine moving about.
