Engine Conversion
Right guys I am planning to do the engine conversion from 1.2 8v SPI to a 1.6 8v MPI
Is it just a case of removing my 1.2 with the loom and ecu and replacing with the 1.6 loom ecu and engine it its place ?

Re: Engine Conversion
You need an MPI fuel pump
Does your car have an immobiliser?

If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Re: Engine Conversion
As @Johnny says you need the MPI fuel pump as the MPI runs at a higher fuel pressure.

Re: Engine Conversion
other than getting a high pressure fuel pump is it plug and go engine swap ?

Re: Engine Conversion
Yeah pretty much, uses same size shafts and everything else, you can run your own gear box but the ratios will be off abit but not enough that you'll feel like it should do more
As stance said just a mpi pump out of an astra or corsa with mpi
I'll pm you about the immobiliser, most will know what I'm going to say but it's just something I don't want to post on a public forum
