is it really worth it? the 1.4 is only abit quicker only when your high into the revs you can tell but not much more difference

pull the entire 1.2 16v engine loom through the bulkhead after cutting off the ECU plugs. match up the wires you need and wire them to the 1.4 16v loom. you need to extend quite a few of them to reach. make sure all wires are soldered and covered with heatshrink. the wires you dont use from the 1.2 loom must be isolated so theres no power getting to them.

thing is,, yeah i can fit the negine no bother, and i get what your saying about pulling it through the bulkhead, but what wires am i still going to need? on my 12 theres an ecu behind the kickpanel and one on the side of the engine, do i leave the one behind the kick panel or replace it with the single sport ecu?

just a thought aswell what about the power steering? the 1.2 16vs are electronic and the 1.4 16v are pumped.

ecu in the kickpanel is the power steering one.
no need to touch it and the epas will work fine with the x14
