I've fitted an engine or two. What is it you want to know?

[pugsly1002000]

i need a 1.4 16v fitted into my 1.2 corsa but unsure of fitting and wiring

[MarkW]

Have you got everything you need to fit it?

a.e. Engine wiring loom, ECU etc.

[pugsly1002000]

hi there well i beleive i got everythin i need

[jamied]

well im in northants/peterborough/cambridge area if you get stuck...done a few engine swaps to date (near 100...lmao)

[pugsly1002000]

so would you say it easy to do wiring up and puttint the 1.4 8v sri in its the wiring were il get stuck

[EY]

Ifd you've got the engine, ECU, and loom, you can't rreally go wrong.

[pugsly1002000]

yh i got all that but im unsure if it will be straight plug in or complicated like joinin wires together and stuff,cheers

[MarkW]

Should be fine. What engine is it though? You said it was a 16v then in a post or two above you say it's an 8v? Just curious.

Anyhoo, should be all good in the hood, the loom that comes with your new engine will have everything you need on it, after all, you're just removing one engine complete with it's loom and ecu and replacing it with another engine complete with it's loom and ecu.

Have you sorted what brakes you're going to use though, has your 1.2 got solid or vented front discs?

[pugsly1002000]

its the 1.4 8 v sri, i think it got solids on it

[MarkW]

Good little engine that, I had a 94 Corsa SRi with the same engine:



Tis' no big problem on the brakes front, and it's an easy upgrade.

You will need the front discs, calipers and more importantly, the caliper carriers from a Cavalier (2.0 or under) or Calibra (2.0 non turbo) or Astra mk3 GSi. The discs are 256mm in diameter.

OR

Nip down the scrappies and find a vented set up from a corsa, maybe the guy who sold you the engine still has them?

[pugsly1002000]

[fennyLET]

£30 for some 256mm with calipers.
