1.4sri engine's

[ianglanister]

are the 1.4 sri engines any good? anyone had alot of problems with them? thanks ian

[Leeboo]

Not sure on reliability etc but they are quite nippy. 82 bhp by the book.

[Jamienova]

one of my mates has got one! its done 130k, been cammed chipped,full s/s, maifold etc and running sweet as a nut

[ianglanister]

what about the 1.3 sr any idea what would be needed to fit it in my 1.2 carb

[Jamienova]

i think it would be just a straight swap! not 100% sure though! your better off asking one of the big boys like razor jack etc

LOL! Don't ask me, I'm crap with engines lol

Does the 1.3 have a return line to the fuel tank, or is that just injection engines that have a fuel return...? Aside from that, it should be a straight swap - 1.2 mounts, loom, gearbox, shafts, radiator etc should all be ok.

[craig green]

1.3 will drop straight into a 1.2 carbed car. If its on the pierburg std 1.3 carb you may have a loose wire on the 1.2 to connect.

I'd have the 1.3 anyway unless its mega miley.

SRis rule. Best Nova factory IMO, hence why i have had 2.
c14se is a great lump. Makes them nearly as fast as the gsi, but ?75 less to tax and 5 insurance groups lower.

lol at the headgasket mine went two weeks ago on my sri

but the amount of people that say drop a bigger engine in is unreal but i love my little 1400 multipoint as ive said before

this time ive put myself in gear and invested in a camshaft and a pulley for a tad more power

btw it should be on the road tomoz:thumb:

i knew a guy who worked at vaux and used remap standard management

[s14a]

he must be some lad so lol

[alan b]

steve man sri's are injection you can remap them! i had an sri engine in mine for a while and it was great, it took awful abuse and never a hickup out of it. changed it for a c16se and to be honest it was a good bit quicker than the sri.

[just vaux trev]

/\;) lol

[s14a]

i know there injection, never knew you could remap a standard ecu, iv asked alot of big tunners and they said it cant be done unless its a aftermarket system like omex etc

[alan b]

nah most ecu's are remapable, but i cant see the point on a c14se, there managment is fairly basic.

[corsa cte]

i had 103bhp out of my nova sri did 0-60 in 7.8 and 130bhp hittin limiter in 5th. top engine only had a head gasket go and engine covered 130000miles be strippin to sell bits of it

[mikey14sr]

SRi ecu has a removable eprom chip that can be replaced with a programmable one iirc, not worth doing though tbh, just stick some 40's on it!
