Question Barina upgrade

Maybe a opel 1.8 litre will fit. These things Hammer! I have just bought a 2002 SRI 1.8. It now pushes 96kw with an exhaust and filter change.

More to the point is this the rebadged Opel Corsa or Suzuki Swift.

If the latter then what other, but a transplant from the legendary Swift GTi Otherwise an Opel 1.6 from the GSi or the MY2002 SRi's 1.8
