Engine Swap

[tommy52]

Thinking of changing my engine over to either corsa GSI 1.6 16V (C16XE) or would i save all lot of hassle if i put in the original 1.6 8V.:confused:

(Cant do red top....would end up killing myself not even going to bother pretending:roll: )

thank you for you help once again.:thumb:

1.6 8v is easyer but if you speak to (long live the nova) he has a 1.6 16v fitted in his, he could guid you thought the convertion. i hope this can help you mate, but as i say the 1.6 8v are easyer to fit and quite tuneable to. :thumb:
