hey, i called up a place which do engine conversions, and he said i shouldnt go with the 1.6t vxr engine and the c20let will be much easier and cheaper.
he said that i would need to use all the wiring from the vxr for some random stuff he mentioned which i just forgot now that ive come to write it up, but it didnt really make sense to me..
but im not bothered 2ltr instead of 1.6 im not complaining.. so long as it works he said hes going to charge me £800 roughly for labour.. do you think thats worth it.. or shall i try and do it my self.. that £800 includes converting my auto to a manual.. but i will supply all the parts becuase i want fresh new or properly reconditioned parts not old ratty parts and he agreed to do it that way.

so i assume itl cost me about £2,000 - £2,500 maybe £3000 max and then £800 for labour.

he quoted me some crazynes for the vxr swap and i forgot that already.

so would you think thats worth it? and in your expert opinion is the c20let better than the vxr's 1.6? or should i still try and go for the vxr swap no matter what.

my main aim was just a more powerful engine, manual and has to be turbo stock..

i think the c20let would be super as if found LOAAAADDDSSS of after market goodies including a 350bhp remap and goodies but i wouldnt add it cos i think my car would just vapourise LOL... but ye.. im just out for opinions now..

thanks in advance
