I wouldn't say it was pointless. The 1.6 will give quite a considerable increase in torque/mid range over the 1.4. Also if he plan's to tune the engine at all a 1.6 will be the better bet both for gain's and financially.

i swapped my x14xe for a x16xel an the only difference was the knock sensor wire
if i had of got a x16xe then everything would have been same on the loom
obviously you would still change ecu, chip an transponder

X14XE to C16XE, you need to make sure you get the full loom for the C16XE, and the ECU, as they are both different to the X14XE ones. other than that, 2 day job
