Question about 1.4 conversion.

[infinity]

Im in the middle of buying a 1.4 cga3 . at the moment i have a coilpack 1.0. Will the clutch from the 1.0 work witb the 1.4? What else would i need to get to do the conversion? Ecu? Thanks in advance!!

Please if anyone has any idea let me know as id like to get everything from scrappers at the same time

get the gear box to, just in case. i am sure its a 180mm clutch for all facelifts

just the engine if you want to, been done a few times on here

Engines 300€ with gearbox 450€ so ill stick to just engine if possible. Car parts are so expensive over here

 

[infinity]

Ill make a guide when i do it. Get some sorted info on the forum

it should be covered in belly,s blog (agent smith too ?)

Thanks mate ill have a look

Surely just an engine swap, everything else should fit / work with the 1.4 lump.

It's in my blog. The engines a straight swap. The only thing you should do is swap the flywheels over as the 1.0 flywheel is 2kg lighter. This will give you a nice little boost seeing as you've got access to both.
The ecu could do with being swapped also, if you want the best performance. It underfueled slightly if you keep the 1.0l one on.

Thanks mate thats exactly the answer i was hoping for? Is yhe flywheel easy to remove? Need an impact gun? Also is it dangerous to have it under fueling or is it only slightly?maybe fixable with an ajustable fpr??

 

[Agent_Sm1th]

Yes the flywheel is easy to remove. You need to jam it with a bar or big driver else it turns as you try and loosen the bolts. There's a flat spot as you accelerate hard with the 1.0l ecu. It's hard to explain if you've not driven both ECUs. Fitting the 1.4 ecu just makes it more torquey throughout the rev range, and the flatspot vanishes. It won't damage it though as the lambda will keep the fuel pretty much correct. The Bosch ecu is very good at keeping the fueling correct. I spoke to Ed at Fusion Motorsport and he said even swapping air intakes and exhausts on second facelifts has minimal effect due to the ecu trying to keep everything as factory. Megasquirt is a good way to go if you fancy a mappable ecu.

Megasquirt is the plan maybe with a turbo at a later date when i have enough cash. I might see how much the 1.4 ecu is as the engine alone is 350€.

Where in Ireland can you get a 1.4 engine. The scrappies dont seem to have them
