why do you want to keep your 1.2 head??
because of all the bits i already have on it, (manifolds, cam.)
what manifold ans cams do you have on it already mate
Only got a four branch mani and full mongoose system on it at the moment.
But got an irmcher inlet with twin carbs, kent fast road cam and vernier pulley goin on in the next few weeks.
I'm getting the head polished and stuff and set up by my local rolling road.
Got my mot this month so wanna get it through that before i carry on playing.
ps, i know i could change the engine for the money im spending but its my money to waste :D and i have coilovers. strut brace and gsi brakes for the people thinking i should be consentrating on handling first.
did you notice much of a diffrence when you put on the manifold and exhaust or was it just manily a sound diffrence
are you or have you had it on a rolling road yet
so your not changing the head because of the bits connected to it!!! thats stupid imo. 1.2 valves are tiny. hopefully by tonight i should know the cc of the combustion chambers of 1.2, 14sri and 1.6 heads so can advice you which of the other two is best to fit
is a 1.6 or 1.4 sri head going to be a direct fit
also i might be wrong but arnt the 1.4 sri heads a bit of a rarity
no they are redily available on mk3 astra's and as i said ill let you know later
what so dose the 1.4i astra have the same engine as the sri i never knew this
