They are two different engines so if you want to throw the timing out and either break it or make it run like a pig id suggest just looking for a set of uprated ones for the 1.6? Just an idea...

Gone of the days of swaping cams from cars, you used to be able to do it with the old ford CVH and vauxhall 8v engines . but like edward said no

Take a read of this: c2club.co.uk/showthrea...ur-Options
The 1.6 16v in the C2s are the same as your engine. Yours is slightly 'detuned' and I'm guessing the difference is the head and the cams, so maybe using ones from a 106 gti or maybe a whole C2 VTS head you might have something to gain - I am not sure if a C2 VTS headswap requires anything else or not though

normally people run saxo cam, C2 inlet and saxo manifold
this would be the budget option

are you sure he is talking about C2 VTS, not C2 R2?

Why not just match port and polish yours?
