First of all, is it possible to fit a 1.4 16v engine into a normal 1.4 mpi shell, yes/no or what mods are needed.

And what mods can be done to the 1.4 8v mpi engine.

Thanks for the help (Feel a engine swap coming on)

Yep it is possible.

You would require (off the top of my head)

Engine (complete)

Gearbox

Mountings

Driveshafts

ECU

Wiring loom

i am also interested to hear whether this is possible and at what estimated cost

basically it isn't worth bothering

just go out and buy the car with that engine allready fitted

why bother, save money and buy a better car

why bother

To own a unique car that you've put work into and have pride in the finished result, rather than a mass-produced car just like everyone else's?

fair point, i thought of doing that to my old car...then realised it would be cheaper to just buy something better....i had planned to strip my old car down and replace 1.4 with a v6 or m16

if your trying to make a unique car, then shouldn't you be aiming higher?

if your trying to make a unique car, then shouldn't you be aiming higher?

I would, but each to their own I guess...

Doing all that work and fitting a 16v over an 8v wouldn't be worth it, sling a 2.0 with webber carbs - that ought to do it!

Now we're talkin

1.8T it!
