    The head has recieved most of the work, full port, larger valves (inlet and exhaust), stronger valve springs and a custom cam. There's alot more bits done to the lump but thats the main bits.
    just had a look at your project m8, looks great, don't know if it was your intention but i love the way you've hidden the volvo'ness off it, excellent job

    Re: blown engine

    If I was planning on a engine transplant I'd fit a CA18DET.

    Is that the 1.8 lump from an Nissan 2OOSX S13?

    Yeah... it's a great little engine, well capable of producing a reliable 320bhp on standard internals.

    Re: blown engine

    Yeah not a bad engine, just wonder about it squeezing in the 5 engine bay with whatever box you would use, JB gearbox would be right out the window with one of those.
    Would be an interesting project if someone wanted to give it ago.

    Re: blown engine

    Yeah, tbh, I haven't even given it any thought until I read the thread. It's surprisingly not very big... off the top of my head I would bet it would fit.

    Ideally it would be nice to fit it the 'correct' way around and have it RWD.
