Default Re: Engine Swaps

An engine swap is actually in the pipeline for me. I can't afford to tune the A series so I'm gonna wack a K series 1.8 VVC in her, hopefully use the PG1 'box if I can get it to fit. Get it out of a derv then I not only have the power but the gear ratio's too. One guy said he's getting between 50-60 mpg in a similar setup which running close to 250 hp/ton. Now that will be fun. Next year hopefully.

Just have to design and build the subframe
