#1: small to big?? Author: JmeRaynor, Location: NottinghamPosted: Sun Oct 03, 2010 8:52 am ---- Does anyone or have any one ever put a bigger engine in a smaller engine car?
ive got a 1.1 and the engine is just all over the place, (nacked basically)
and i've seen a 1.4 engie on ebay would it be possible to add this engine to the car? would the car handle it?
#2: Re: small to big?? Author: Mattie-RS, Location: A Track near you ;)Posted: Sun Oct 03, 2010 9:01 am ---- can put any engine in
Id say go for the 1.6 8v as its a very similar engine, just bigger bore size, and direct fit!!
#3: Re: small to big?? Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Sun Oct 03, 2010 9:02 am ---- can do yeah would work
#4: Re: small to big?? Author: apjs87, Location: PlymouthPosted: Sun Oct 03, 2010 9:02 am ---- In a word, yes
#5: Re: small to big?? Author: T_bandery, Location: East londonPosted: Sun Oct 03, 2010 9:04 am ---- As mattie said the 1.6 will be a direct fit
Why not put in the GTi engine?
#6: Re: small to big?? Author: JmeRaynor, Location: NottinghamPosted: Sun Oct 03, 2010 9:05 am ---- could do what about the ecu would that all be the same not need anything doing, just a basic take out and put in job?
#7: Re: small to big?? Author: kevin, Location: DalkeithPosted: Sun Oct 03, 2010 9:19 am ---- ECU should really be changed however it would run on the old one but would give you alot of hastle later on so would defo do mate.

the 1.4 and 1.6 8 valve engines will bolt straight in and will require very little wiring to get it running assuming u put a non plexed (pre 2001ish) into a non plexed car of vice versa
the gti engine is a lot more involved uses a different gearbox more wiring different exhaust etc plus a lot more parts will need upgrading such as brakes and suspension to cope with it
#10: Re: small to big?? Author: Teebag, Location: exhall, bedworth, coventryPosted: Sun Oct 03, 2010 9:25 am ---- need engine, wiring loom bsi and ecu
#11: Re: small to big?? Author: Mattie-RS, Location: A Track near you ;)Posted: Sun Oct 03, 2010 9:54 am ---- if your car is pre 2001 then id def go for the 1.6 8v out of a pre 2001 also
engines on ebay and that mostly come with gearbox ecu and loom, so its a simple out with the old in with the new,

what about the ecu would that all be the same not need anything doing, just a basic take out and put in job?
