just nosey, was stiffed buy a guy with an engine just wondering who he sold me out for

anyway
its a straight fit
you use the engine and gearbox driveshafts
wiring loom starter etc from the gsi

exhaust you you your std system along with the gsi manifold and cat

you will need to go to scrappy and cut off the bolt fuel pipes and attach to yours

wiwring is dead easy

and also id suggest upgrading the brakes

no
what you do is
you get a lower pully of a sri with the cranshaft sensor lobes on it
then you remove the alt, p's pump and lower pullley from the gsi engine
then fit the sri v belt pulley
fit the alt off your 8v engine to it using its brakets
then use a srii v'belt and your done

i dont wanna confuse you to much... but the solution for getting rid of the power steering pump mentioned above didnt work for me when i went from 1.2 8v to 1.6 16v....

also your 1.2 8v shafts will be fine you dont need to change them...

i set it up like you said with the 1.2 8v altenator on the c16xe but the altenator sat back about a 5mm or so to far... the belt would have came off if i had of left it.... tryed mout it different ways but it just wasent going to work..... funny... i found that pulley i bought off you burried in my shed yesterday

i tryed this also but i broke it

took too much off it with the grinder....

i just got another bracket made up (basically a straight piece of metal with a 1 normal hole and 1 elongaged hole..... then just used the c16xe altenatorand the c16xe mounting bracket...
