Post by 7774 » Sat Aug 16, 2003 8:01 am

having driven a 1.7 for some time i bought a 2.0 i have found<br>that the 1.7 revs a lot better while the 2.0 seems to pull nicely from low revs anyway to get to the point in hand can i <br>(a) put a 16v head on the 2.0 OR<br>(b) cheaply increase capacity OR<br>(c) engine from S/V40 transplant <br>i'm looking for the best way to get around 150-160bhp but if the engine from the s40 t4 fits i wouldn't complain. <br>I've been enjoying the site and hope someone can help <br> <p></p><i></i>
