8v and 16v.
One is 75BHP and one is 90BHP.

would it be best to stick with the 8v in this case, wouldn't the 16v need more wiring?????

I'd probably only notice gains from the 16v tbh. How much would a 16v lump cost generally? Like 2005 onwards.

That's annoying. We'll see. I might make it a summer project and turn the 1.1 into something a little bit more acceptable.
It's a great little car, it just doesn't have the power for the amount of motorway miles that I do.

 even more so if your going from 8 to 16v need ECU, loom, ect as afaik it has VVT, I'd also change the gearbox too for easiness.. It's alot easier to get a donor car and do spot the difference before you attempt it, take pictures and notes of all the plugs ect and see what's different so you know what you need to swap over..
Then just strip the rest of the donor car and sell it on probably find it'd be cheaper that way too  and you'll come across less problems.

I a guessing yours is 8v, right?
If so, easiest thing to do is take out just ENGINE out the car and change it for a 1.6 8v, all the wiring on the 8 valvers are exactly the same and also you'll need an ecu from 1.6
For a 16v you'll need to change to change all the looms and a hell lot more.... not worth it tbh, might as well install a GTi engine if you are planning to put in a 1.6 16v
The gearbox from your 1.1 will work fine too with 1.6 8v

An Admin saying this.. Well I never.
Do it mate. We are all here because we like tinkering with cars.

Roflmao, I didn't even notice that.
Insurance is f*****g me over so much right now and it's just not on tbh. I don't know what I'll do.
I'll probably end up buying another Aegean Blue 206, but a 1.4.
