so its not far off williams power then, i have thought about havin a 2.0l before but could never afford it, what about modifications cams ect do they have the same reliablity as the valver engines coz mine runs perfect and havnt had any problems???

i know they may be biest, but would like to know their exsperience with t/b's!!!

well by all means go look/ talk to dave @ BB and see what he has to offer but i'm sure with a turbo it wouldn't be that long before the box is blown to smitherines!

and i bet that didnt cost half of what the guy paid that did the mods in my car lol, yet you have gained more power!
what bout a williams engine on throttle bodies, good idea-bad idea?

williams engine on TB's would be super cool mate if you have the pennies to do it

Im strongly in the same camp as Mark Ritchspeed on this. Spend the money on brakes and suspension.

£ for £ money spent on renewing / upgrading suspension will make the car faster than spending on engine.

Id get Williams front track and a brake conversion. That will make your car more fun than any engine mod.

well wen my 6 numbers come up ill get it done, alond with the evo and skyline lol.
wll at the minute im swaying towards a 2.0l conversion and then go from there!
ive always wanted a turbo, before i bought this car i was thinking about the ktec turbo'd clio but this car came up so i had it, plus it was my girlfriends brother who i bought it off so i knew how it had been driven and how well it was looked after so i bought ut!
ppppppsssstttttttt
