Not 100% if it would or not, may depend how it would be driven with that kinda power going through but i would deffinetly recommend uprating the clutch at least if adding that kinda extra power or it may go wrong on you.

That gearbox will handle a 1.6 with no problems at all, I would use the clutch for the 1.6 engine though just to be on the safe side

Dave A has an F13 CR on his thats at 201 bhp.
So if your fitting minor mods, don't worry about it. I'm upto 125 bhp and nowhere near the box's limit.
