by replacing the 1.4 bottom end with a 1.6 version, think the heads on both the 1.4 and 1.6 were the same, then again could be wrong!

the complete top end(head cams etc) are the same on the two engines, x14xe and x16xe, the c16xe has different exhaust cams and few differences to the head. u can tune the x14xe well, and as for people saying you may aswell buy a faster car, well you may but wheres the fun in that? lol! id prefer to tune an engine than put a bigger one in! the 1.4 16v enginer is easily tuneable to 105-110bhp with just an ilet and exhaust and few other bits costing less than 1k, and it totally transforms the car, well worth doing if insurance is an issue

tuned 1.4 much much more fun when they run, mine ran 15.7 on my first and only run to date on the 1/4 mile in really hot weather
handles superb as well
