Hi Guys,
Does anyone know any major problems with putting a 1998 saxo VTS motor into a 1998 zx 1.4i temp? Could be a bit of fun as i've just been offered a 45k engine that ive known for 3 years for £300. Currently thinking the PAS pump location and drive shafts size would prob be the only real issues? Would obviously be upgrading the front brakes too!!
Could be an interesting project as its getting hard to find immac low milage zx's!!
Any hint/tips welcome before i end up buying an engine i dont want!

Mark

VTS the 16v version??
I've just done a conversion from single to multipoint & can tell you it as a ball ache.
If the donor car has a transponder type immobiliser your best unlocking the ecu while the engine will run in the sax. This will save you masses of time & effort.
