hi

Hi I'm new here,

I actually have a motive for registering on your forums, my significantly better half's car recently snapped it's cambelt, so I'm on the hunt for a new engine (1.7) and trying to track one down is actually proving harder than i first thought.

cheers

Mark

Welcome along...

cheers i have had a quick look, just out of interest is are the 1.4 and 1.7 engines interchangeable?

they are certainly more similar then the 1.6 which is completely different, however I don't know how easily they are swapped out.

No because the engine management will be different so you'd have to do the whole wiring loom as well as the ecu.

since you asked so nicely...picture whoring time









the following two are old pics, the front wheels are now 9.5" as above





currently running 0BHP

as well as the gf's cam belt letting go a week ago, my turbo popped yesterday morning :S not been our week

it was running just over 300bhp (302bhp and 294lbs of torque @1bar to exact) on a GT28R turbo, fingers crossed as of next week ill have a GT2871R which on low boost that its running should give about 350bhp but on high boost application should yield about 390bhp

to be honest the real moneis goes on making it faster which I'm sure is an addiction..., on the whole they are fairly good on fuel..cheapish in to insure
