[rallysaxo]

hi there i am looking at putting in a 106 quicksilver engine into my 1.1 saxo. any help would be great. do i need to change anything like mounts and that. and is there anything i would need from the 106 engine as well

[rallysaxo]

so no advice at all. and anything to look out for on the car like problems as this be my first saxo

[jeffchiz]

well give it a bit of time to get replys

first of all i need to what ecu your engine is and what ecu the 106 engine is? if both engines are single plug or both are three plugs ecus then its a straight swap to do it on the cheap you just need the engine (complete), unlocked ecu and i think you will need a 1.4 saxo loom as i think 106 ones wont plug in to the saxo interior loom

ok cheers. whats the common problems with saxos

[Reechard]

Any reason for going for the 1.4 8v over a 1.6 16v?

Its fairly simple to swap if you get everything to match up. As said, 1 plug ecu to 1 plug ecu or same with 3 plugs.
Otherwise you have to chop up wires.

cause i am getting the engine gearbox ecu loom driveshafts, alloys and a quicksilver interior for 120 quid think that a good deal really
