u can do it as long as the milage is on an even number, if its on an odd number then it will melt the pistons

[voorhas]

But... can't you get a whole 2L zetec for the price of a chip for a si? Just a thought...

Regarding the question, if the cars in good shape it will cope as well with the chipping as a newer one.

AND so does chipping your car

[chumkila]

yes but its not viewable if ya pop the bonnet whereas the 2.0l lump u cant really miss.

[Ian C70T5]

you think

The 2 litre looks very similar to the zetec 1600 block externally i believe

[chumkila]

[MadcatCraig]

he is right uneless you take the engine apart a 2ltr looks exactly the same as the 1.6 ! oh if u use the same cam cover also !

[Phil Si]

its identical, only thing u can tell is the inlet hose size and teh maf, but apart from that it looks like the 1.6 trust me

[chumkila]

pooo!!

[Poom]

Will you be using this as your everyday car?
Wont putting a 2L in it make your petrol bills a lot higher ?

[Ian C70T5]

Maybe.. BUT chipping the car will also increase fuelling..

Basically power to money ratio i would say the 2L engine conversion is MUCH better than chipping it..

I know about looking the same as i sat at Nobles earlier in the year looking at the engine bay of Phil Si

[chumkila]

there is no comparison to the fuelling of a 1.6 to a 2.0l.

at the end of the day it comes down to how much money you can afford to insure and maintain the ride.

[Phil Si]

lol u wouldnt of known if we aint of told u:) u were convinced it was a 1.8 head

[elm_us]

u can do it as long as the milage is on an even number, if its on an odd number then it will melt the pistons
