i have a 1.4 8v engine, pretty reliable - pretty slow. having only 59bhp doesnt meet my needs. in the autumn i want to change the engine but i need some advice from you guys that have already uprated your own.
i was looking at fitting the X18XE1. it looks simple but i could be mistaken.
another obvious one - the 1.6 16v from the Gsi.
or the red top of doooooom lol
but i dont know whats worth getting. im just looking for opinions and suggestions and any problems with any builds you guys have already had. and i want something that wont kill my insurance - im 19 with 3 points in the post haha
cheers
