rite then peeps, as u all know, ive bin getting worried about changing engines over lol- Im fitting a gsi c16xe to my corsa b 1.2 16v sxi, i believe I can still use all engine mounts and coolant etc, I may be keeping my original gearbox, however if not I have a speedo and cable to compensate this, my main worries are the fusebox- I do not know if these will be the same or compatable, and I dont know if I can use my loom from the ecu thats inside the car that goes thru to the engine, appart from that I think it should go ok, obtained the zorst system and teaming it with my scorpion bbox, and got a pipercross induction kit- if anyone has any useful info that will help me please let me know lol, ive only swapped engine for engine b4, not different engines over lol

ur fuel pump / radiator will b fine, dont worry about the fuses etc, u can use the majority of ur existing loom provided u are confident to split it down and locate everything, will need to change ur clocks aswell.

got clocks ready- in case gearbox doesnt agree with the newer leccy speedo lol, Im hoping the looms shudnt be too different, is it the harness from ecu to engine I need to be careful of? what do I do about the diagnostic? is that on a different loom? im hoping the majority will plug n play, however Im prepared to strip some loom down
