    I want to do a 1.1 to 1.6 engine conversion in my flatty
    I love the look of flattys but i want more power so i was just wondering

    Can i just get a vtr engine and put it straight into the flatty and just upgrade the brakes?

    Or is there a lot or work? could you please post some information

    Thank you

    straight fit, advisable to weld in the vtr mount on the drivers side inner wing though

    if your changing the engine you would be aswell putting the 16v in. you can do it on the 1.1 mounts. just make sure the you have the bigger brakes

    straight swap. but you want engine, unlocked ecu,better brakes, and ancillaries.
