    X16xe into astra mk3 1.4 8 valve, is it easy?

    Pretty much as the title really, i've bin asked to do it for a mate for a too good a price to turn down so i'm gonna go for it anyways, just a few questions on the wiring really, is a straight forward ECU swap and engine loom swap or is there gonna be more than i bargained for? Got the engine, ECU, transponder and chip for the 1600 and injector loom with the big blue multi plug on it but the astra doesn't have the multi plug, will this appear if i swap the ECU loom for a corsa one and will it be compatible with the rest of the astra wiring?

    Cheers for any info an tips

    I think the wiring is a like for like principal like the c20xe and the LET engines, the X16XE is a newer engine I think being a ecoterrorism engine so would have a few more sensors but that is all in the loom.
