i did do a search and didnt find anything but is this possible i have a 1.4 R reg exclusive and want a bit more power (no i dont want to just get a vt)
so my question is is it possible to convert my 8v to a 16v?
if so how much would it cost where do i get the parts and is there a major power increase?
thanks in advance guys! :y:

Do you mean keeping you current engine or fitting a vts engine?

No such thing as a 1.4 16v to my knowledge. The only way to get a 16V is do a VTS conversion.

no mate, a 16v head(vts) wont fit any other block appart from the vts one
if you looking for power increase and reasonable insurance, go for a vtr conversion
a 1.4 engine gives around 75bhp whereas a 1.6 vtr would give you 98bhp
think vts is around 130 bhp????
