Hi all,
I got the 1.4 (X14XE) engine but would like to upgrade to the X16XE engine.
Can i just get the 16XE engine block and plonk it in there and then swap over the ECU or is there more?
cheers

Also, it has a factory alarm and a secondary alarm.
These won't be affected in anyway will they if the engine gets changed?? Just a case of wiring them back up (assuming) via the loom!?

to be honest it would be much easier to buy a complete 1.6 and put it then, then sell your 1.4

that way you should find it easier to get the correct bits for the immobiliser etc
