hi all as most of you know i have a 1.2 8v breeze,thinking of an engine change late this year/early next
opting for a 1.6 8v gte engine out of a nova
went on jncracing.co.uk and this is what it says under conversions page
1.6 8v GTE/GSI Conversion (Nova)
Supply and fit a GTE/GSI 1.6 8v Nova engine and F13 gearbox into a Nova, basically drive in with the original 1.0-1.4 and drive out with the 1.6. Includes removal of the old engine, fitting of the 1.6 8v, all relevant wiring and anything else required to get it running as well as all new fluids.
£600
Depending upon the model of the car to start with the fuel tank and pump may need to changed to the Nova multi-point injection items. If so another £100 will need to be added to the above. If the car had a single-point injection engine to start with only the pump needs to be changed, a multi-point injection internal pump can be used instead. If so then add £50 for just the pump.
To do all of the above and supply and fit 2lt 16v front brakes with new discs and pads.
£750-£850 (depending on the car)
1.6 8v GTE/GSI Conversion (Corsa B)
Exactly the same as for the Nova, only difference is the fuel tank doesn't need to be changed only the fuel pump needs to be changed if it was originally a single-point injection engine in the car.
£600-£650 (depending if it needs fuel pump change)
or with 2lt brakes supplied and fitted
£750-£800
is it worth doing???
