OK
been reading through some or your forums and now you got me thinking about upgrading my 1.2 16v to a bigger engine, possibly a 1.4 16v?
Is it worth it, is it easy, and would you go any higher??

Phil

yea i would go for it the x14xe is a good engine plus theres loads of low milage 1\'s about i got 1 in mine n its quick for wot it is n there easy 2 go in,

wicked
i think i mite do that then
how much should i be looking at spending for one of these engines

250-400 max low milage 1\'s with every think u need

try that

Don\'t bother there is no point.

My mate has a standard x14xe and he hardly pulls from a x12xe.

Drop the x16xe in! lot more tuneable!

I would say that if you are thinking of an engine transplant go the whole hog and have a 1.6 or 1.8 lump stuck in there.

The difference between the 1.2 and 1.4 is not really that noticeable.

RE price. I had my bottom end knackered 1.4 swapped for exactly the same type engine and it cost me £150 for the engine and £200 to get it all fitted.

got no probs pullin away from vtr\'s in mine,every 1 seems 2 h8 them engines,duno y?but theres hardly n e diff in the x14xe n x16xe,i drivin both n the x16xe aient that much faster just gets there a bit quicker,plus the both very tuneable engines
