the main harness is the same, the dial plug loom you will have to make, matcha nd extend wire for wire the 9 pin plug from the nova ecu to the plug in your footwell

only 4 wires coming from the nova ecu. red one goes to 12v supply. black goes to ign on. red/blue is fuel pump and then the earth from anywhere on the engine

and blue is your temp gage
im sure on the nova theres a brown/yellow for em light too
on the nova engine loom there is a 6 pin plug with the 6 wires mentioned above..you may/maynot have to extend them to where your 1.2 ecu was,
should be a pretty straight foreward swap to be honest
when you take the corsa engine out take the little wiring loom off your starter loom/alternator that goes to your battery etc and put it on the 1.6 before you put it in (like you would on a redtop etc)
and you need a water bottle with just the one outlet at the top (not sure if yours has or hasnt got one)
