Corsa Sri 1.4 MPi engine, loom and fuel pump will cost you less than the cam, exhaust and inlet mods on a 1.2 8v, and you'll have more power and torque. | |

its easier to drop a 1.4 in than start stripping down a 1.2 to put cams n things in | |

theres three of us trying this, theres a thread somewhere with a link to novaload, was a guy on there that got his nova running pretty well, but the jist of it is nova sr cam, 421 manifold and decat, astra 1.6 spi inlet manifold and 1.8 cav throttle body should see an improvement | |

just dont bother its not worth it. drop a 1.4 8v in if u want a bit more power and its easier that messing with throttle bodies and cams. | |
