i know it gets asked daily but im deciding if i should put a 2ltr or a 1.6 in my 93 sri 8valve.
i really want a 2ltr but im not to sure about handling,weight,insurance etc.
i would do a 1.6 but will it be much faster then mine as its only another 20brake more.
how much would a conversion with a 1.6gsi engine cost including gearbox,clutch,brakes or whatever i would need to change?

so what gains do these kits give and how much power can i expect from them?
would be nice to get it to 150bhp but i spose that'd cost a fortune. what other modificaions do i need to do if i get the power box or torque tube?
