Sounds about right mate... but like anything else... its all costing money.... best save up for the conversion and new engine for best results

Daniel, it wont be *that* easy. Youll need a considerable bit of kit, the cylinder head, full inlet manifold, fuel rail etc etc

Jesus guys, get your figures straight!

The Nova 1.4 SR was a carbed 1.4 with 72bhp.

The Corsa/Nova SRi used multi-point injection and was 82bhp.

The 1.4 head was poop, a 1.2 cylinder head on the 1.4 block will be a lot better.

think i might just keep my corsa as it is. use it for now, until i rebuild my mini. id always plnned for a bigger engine in it, but i crashed it, and fancied a corsa. so i got one. but im really up for putting the new engine into my mini now and rebuilding it all. front endsmash up ya see. 1.4turbo in a mini would be fast as fuk!

too much work, MG metro 1.3 turbo is exactly the same block as a mini block. its all the same, just gotta adapt the bulk head for the turbo to fit, and re bore the eingine. still loads of work, but much easyer! styling wise its allready finished. just new front valance and new wings either side. i smoother the bonnet beforen so i can just re shape it, it aint 2 bad. just put a roll cage in it, cuz id need it with the power from a 1.4t lump. the 1ltr in there was fast as fuk n e way, beat most 1.2'si raced, and was louder than any car for miles. was a hell of a car, until i spun on black fukin ice. i will get her back on the road though. have 2 bring it to a CS meet sum time

i aint exactly small though. im 6ft. plenty of room though! even went cruisin with 6 ppl in it before. although 4 of them were nice petite girls

(SWEET!!!). ice decided now n e way. im gunna start on the car this weekend. its alll comin appart. stripping it bachk down 2 a shell. grinding the back seats out and putting back brace in. roll cage. get the interior all sorted out while i save for the engine. no back seats, just carpet it all. two buckets in the front, then grind the front arches off and front valance, get new ones, cuz theyre pretty cheap. weld them on. re-spray the whole car pug 307 light blue (like the one in the advert where the girl throws a snow ball at the mans knob). then in goes the new engine. jb done - sweet car -all the ladies i want - live happily ever after - SOUND
