Mr.LDC Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Hi all, I am looking to replace my 1.0 litre lupo with a 1.4 engine from another lupo, I was wondering if it was just a straight swap, so it just bolt's in? Also, when I get the engine I want to install a BMC CDA Induction Kit and was just wonderin if that's easy to install aswell. Cheers, Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Luke The engine mounting location on the chassis is exactly the same across all lupos. What varies is the engine mounting bracket between various different engines. Get the correct one with the engine and yes, in terms of just fitting the engine it will just "bolt in".... may need to modify your loom, or get the correct one for the engine with ECU/Immobilser to be able to leave the existing security features in place, and also get it to run. Yes, induction kit is easy to fit. A lot easier than the engine lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj1 Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Which 1.4 is it you've been lookng at? I do think it might just be easier buying the car with the engine that you want in it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Defo easier to sell yours and buy a 1.4, insurance will be cheaper and easier too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 I'd just buy another Lupo. 1.4's are cheap as chips nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
