1.1i to 1.4i

[lewis1990]

hello people i am gettin a saxo 1.4i with a blown head gasket and i hav got a 1.1i atm. I was just wonderin if u can put a 1.4i head on a 1.1i block and can u use (SPI) on the 1.4i head or wud it jus run like shit becuz there isnt enuf fuel goin into the engine?

pls tell wt u fink and if it wud work?

[Prickle]

as for the engine no idea sorry, i doubt it would work anyways ??

i bought a 1.4 engine a while back for £50

no point messing abut when you can get engines so cheap

WOW... From scrappy? How many thousands of miles lol?

[JamesR]

why a 1.4? never heard of a 1.1 to 1.4 conversion.

[AlexB]

i did a 1.6-1.4 conversion lol

a 1.4 head on a 1.1 will work you can swap the inlet setups i think but you may have diffrences in sensors around the head so it might be a pain

from a member, ok it was like 4 years ago mind, and i got a vtr egine delivered for £85 3 years ago

[lewis1990]

cheers for all the coments people. if i do change the head will it make any difference in performance do u think?

[AlexB]

it depends what head you get ect

[lewis1990]

what do u mean by what head i get i.e furio,westcoast etc

[AlexB]

yes you could get several heads and they will perform differently
id get a head off a rallye 1.3 or the old xsi myself they are rather good heads

[Sophia_Bush]

get that xsi engine that lad is selling he is from nuneaton

[lewis1990]

what lad? have u got a link or is it in the for sale adverts?

[Sophia_Bush]

Alex-VTS is selling one

[AlexB]

haha yes im cosidering selling it for the right price

[lewis1990]

ok how much would u want 4 it then lol

[lewis1990]

is the xsi head MPI or SPI because my 1.1i is SPI?
if it is MPI what do i need to do to change my 1.1i to MPI?

[AlexB]

mpi mate so will be a little better
tbh with something like that youll be looking at swapping the looms about as imo that would be easier

but tbh with engines its a case of anything is possible with the right funds

[lewis1990]

can u put SPI on to the xsi head?

[AlexB]

you could i spose but it wouldnt really give much difference tbh

[lewis1990]

ok cheers m8 il update u if i do it.

[lewis1990]

can u get a better cam for the 1.4 head?

[lewis1990]

ow hard is it to change a SPI to a MPI?
do i have to the ecu and wiring?
