NEWBIE! What engine could i stick in my mk1 1.0 spree IV?

[Foster_FTW]

NEED SOME ADVICE!
Sorry to sound an absolute idiot and a newbie but we all start somewhere.
Basically i got my Saxo 1.0 Spree IV because it was cheap and reliable but i've fallen in love with it and want to make it a hell of alot better.
I was wondering if i could drop a VTS 1.6 in there or any other saxo engine for that matter.
What would i also have to do aswell as just putting a different engine in?

Any help would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks

all saxo engines are compatible i believe.
its the looms, interior and engine looms that are the important thing.

sure someone who knows a lot more than me will inform you.

A vts conversion can be done :y:

You need to think about your stopping power aswell though, and your suspension set up :y:

Excellent thanks for the advice.
Going to have to try find someone to give me a hand with this i reckon.

It might be cheaper to start off with a VTS in the first place though unless you have a special attachment to the car. Theres a lot of work to do

Agreed

Unless you want to learn how it's done and build up skills etc then just buy a VTS, less off a ballace and probably cheaper to insure than a 1.1 VTS conversion

If you are serious about it you would find it easier to buy a donor car as that way you have all the parts you need. But in all honesty unless you have a rare colour or the car has a special meaning to you id just buy a vts. Only reason im putting a vts engine in a mango saxo is because you cant by a vts in that colour..

Thanks for the help guys. To be honest I'm wanting to to get experience doing this kind of thing so think i'll give it a try with my mate. If it goes tits up i'll learn from my mistakes and get a VTS

Not to say it cant be done mind, a lot of people find cooking model shells and convert them as usually they havent been driven so hard so are in better nick. Its just a lot of work if you start off with a carb model
