as title suggests..... is it cost related or engineering related? |

In NZ: http://www.ausmini.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=11441 In OZ: http://www.ausmini.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=36853 Expensive motors in OZ and long (I think). Plus there's no turbo!! 
But really there should be more. They're a great engine, especially the 1.8 |

I'd say more because of expense than anything. The length is no prob, and you can legally turbo the B16A 
I'm doing a 4G92, which is very similar, makes more power and just because it's different

I have completed a conversion just recently and can say with some authority that both costs and engineering problems are an issue. If a road going registered vehicle is contemplated I would suggest from what I have seen on this site and elsewhere that the Toyota engine would be the most cost effective and present less of an engineering challenge . In my case however the vehicle was primarily built with racing in mind (closed street sprints and hill climbs) and as such I was not constrained by registration requirements ,Aus. Design Rules etc. I had hoped to give it its first outing at the Gatton street sprints last month however a few minor problems with the electrics caused me to miss this meeting .The car is now ready and I hope to give it a run early next month. If you are interested details of the project can be found on my website. http://members.optusnet.com.au/~peter_white/index.htm The site has not being updated for a while and does not reflect recent changes or modifications . If you want further details please feel free to P.Msg me. |

Absolutely positive You can go up to 1.6 liters turbocharged and i think it something like 1985cc N/A, so basically 2 liters.

I always thought it was 1.5l Forced induction and about 1.8l NA 
Just found the dotars regs (for WA) relating to max engine capacity: For vehicles weighing less than 800kg: NA - Original weight x 3.0 = max swept capacity(cc) = 650(approx) x 3 = 1950cc Forced - Original weight x 2.5 = max swept capacity(cc) = 650 x 2.5 = 1625cc So there ya go!!
