My car (1.8 16v) has been off the road for nearly a year now and I finally have some money together to get it sorted. After speaking to a couple of garages I have been given a price of around £1500 for a drive in drive out rebuild of my current engine,
I thought that replacing the bottom end from one with a 2.0 on rebuild would bring some power gain but I have been told that its only worth doing if Im spending big money and it would be worth spending my budget solely on rebuilding the 1.8 and getting the best from that.
I have around £2000 to spend, is there anyone who has been in a similar position? What would be the best thing to do and what gains could I expect?
