well basicly i am toying with the idea of fitting a 1.6 into my car as the lack of power and torque are really starting to get annoying. but there is a slight problem my car is fitted with a carb.

so which mounts, looms and things like petol tanks would i need?

oh and anyone know any good insurance companys that will insure engine swaps?

loom, ecu, engine mounts, exhaust, fuel tank the lot :thumbsup:

IMHO i would save and buy an Si. after the time and money used to do this you could have brought an Si and got it the way you wanted. I wanted to turn my 1.8 Focus into a 2.0 by changing cams, ECU throttle body etc. Realised it just was not worth it.

if i know my shell is solid.... hmm it's quite sound underneath just a small hole in the sill.

the fact that my engine has covered all the offside underneath with oil helps lol

oh and the arches and around the filler

agreed, 2litre it, if you put a 1.6 in it then your gonna be wanting a 2litre soon after. It would be cheaper to buy an si but that would defeat the object of making the car yours so definatly go for it if you have the time and money

hmm i would 2.0 it but then i would get raped by the insurers and it would be like a 100% + power increse in one go and i have heard that 2.0s can be a little frisky at times lol.

another point is that i dont want it to be madly fast i just want it to be a nicer car to drive
