Engine Swap

[lucasmax]

right a few questions

1. im presuming that doing the swap is not an easy task, so does anyone have anytips?

2. how do you go about re regestering your car and all that so its all cool for the insurance, the only stuff a can find is if you change the 1.0 for say a 2.0 haha then ya need an engineers report...aparently

3 are all the other things the same? gearbox ect?

4. oh and i can get hold of a 1.3 engine for £120 but its one with powersteering but i wont get the power steering pump, does that matter if my 1.0 doesnt have power steering? i mean am not planning to put powersteering into my lil micra, i can handle it me thinks, so can i get the engine and just well not use the powersteering


if you can make sense of the last question then you are a god in my opinion haha :grinning:

here's my tip. buy a 1.3 it will be cheaper and alot easier. the only reason for a 1.0 to 1.3 engine swop is if you are not going to tell the insurance company (which i do not recommend) or your car is well modified and you want more power.
