   hi all
   
   I was wondering how hard it would be to fit a jp4 engine in the sax as the current engine is on 104k miles so its seen better days.
   
   Also how much would i be looking at from start to finish ?
   
   manny thanks

   Its like doing an 8valve to 16v conversion. But you already have a 16v.
   
   JP4 Engine, head drilled for the Saxo inlet and throttle body
   Saxo hoses
   Saxo Mounts
   Saxo Cambelt tensioner
   Saxo Alternator
   Saxo thermostat housing
   Saxo throttle cable
   Saxo Sensors
   Saxo Loom
   Saxo ECU
   
   If you have triple plug saxo then you can use the JP4 coilpack
   If you have single plug then use your single plug coilpack off your saxo
   
   Saxo Sump
   Saxo Manifold
   Saxo oil filter
   Saxo Starter motor
   
   Might be a few minors ive missed, but thats basically everything.
