Currently have 1.4 16V sport. I have been offered a 1.6 16V engine for 150 notes. Is it worth changing over and what power gain would i get?

Cost of chips (roughly) and how would it effect my insurance?

yes well worth it, as long as you got the ECU &transponder chip key thing you can swap them in less than a day

broster had a X14 and with a lot of work, only got 105bhp, with the same spec on an X16, he got 124bhp, then mapped properly, it got 138bhp

i'm swapping for a 1.6 soon
