Ok I am consdering doing the R19 1.8 16v conversion into my R5 (If I keep the 5 as have taken a deposit but not sure I can't part with the car may have to tell the bloke the engine has blown up can't sell) but want to maintain the use of my Radtec Alloy Rad and Intercooler setup as I will in the future be putting a turbo on it and wanting to re-use this kit.
I am wondering how much space do you still have @ the front when the engine is all in place so I can get an idea as to how to make the kit fit? (Suppose i could always cut the crossmember and weld.
Also has anybody tried a VNT that was made for the R5 and is it any good on the 1.8 16v engine? or is to small?
Sorry if the questions are a little simple but that is just me Simple as
