Not really. It's a good idea, but financially it's a nightmare.

When I priced it up for a 1.6, it looked around £3K to do it properly.

Far cheaper to swap the engine. Plus it'll be more reliable.


hmmmmmmm not really worth doing it eh :thumbs:
cheers

how much will all this cost? i can get manifold and pipes made for free if i get manufacture drawings made.

i think i would be looking at 150 bhp
