1400 block with 16v head?

[furio-james]

Hi would this work?

would i need different internals etc?

Ive had a search but no luck

Thank you

the short answer is no

it has been one on race cars to meet regs for class but its alot of work, way more than is worth it for road usage.

[frankie]

there was a 1.4vts in other countries.

think on the later 1.4 engines the 16v fitted not o sure.

it was a 1360cc vts, but it wasnt a 16v

[furio-james]

Sorry forgot to mention its not for road usage which would be easier, a full 16v conversion or just swap the heads?

[frankie]

oh rite....

anyway, james if youve got a 16v head ive got a vts bottom end ;)

[VtsTom]

Pop over to qep and bend over with a tub of lube, or hand them 6k... Your choice

[don55]

whole engine mate. swap it, you wont look back

[Ryan]

Cant just swap the heads, sandy did a 1.4 16v on bodies in a 205. His thread commented on how if it wasnt for class regs it was uneconomical iirc.

just use the 1600

[furio-james]

Okay thanks for the advice haha think ill stick to the whole 16v unit then. Frankie ill probally be in touch soon when i break everything and i need help haha me n my old man are going to give it a shot, oh and do you know of any scrapies near us frankie? ive been to 3 in devies's and 1 in trowbo no luck :(

[frankie]

you looking for the vts engine loom and whole she bang?

[furio-james]

Pretty much from the bulkhead to the slam panels worth, driveshafts the lot

[frankie]

i could be breaking my vts, so i would sell you the whole lot....

everything for the conversion....

your sax best be single plug?

[furio-james]

[VTEC-Saxo]

[furio-james]

[VTEC-Saxo]

[furio-james]

[VTEC-Saxo]

anyone up for a 1400 engine off willsy i offerd him £20 as a joke for his engine ecu ect and he accepted it, i was like urm shit i was joking, hes seirously sellign the lot for 20 quid tho!

[furio-james]

sounds like its not the freshest tho . .

[Colin]

Get a 1600 vts engine and change the bore/stroke with a different crank, rods etc. Only way really, and its only for class racing really. Pointless for the road etc.

[Jason]

1600 engine with S1 rallye crank. if stuck to regulations like said. would probably be the easiest route.

Yes you can. You have to use a iron block 8 1.4 You need to fit the tensioner setup off the 16V engine and hen the pistons can easily be rebated to clear the 16 valves. You can use the full management system off the 16V but it would have to be mapped or you can just go stand alone.

As for using 1.3 crank in a 16V block this is a lot more complicated and actually takes you over 1.4 if you retain the stock stroke and bore.

theres a 1.4 16v up here, my mate owns it, class winning car although alot of cash like. Think it's got a sadev and all that
