Do not go to specialised engines (Crap), I would stay well away, I found this out the hard way, after ignoring everyones advice

2.3 from a galaxy can be fitted with some work, i would suggest www.rs2000-16v.co.uk and speak to the lads running 2.3's on there, also the standard 2ltr I4 engine is not that tunable so dont expect to see any more than 200bhp and a drop in torque hence why the 2.3 is good

They should have a forum for rs2000's

Did you take it appart and actually have a look at the standard it was made, the head I got from them had 2 angle valve seats as opposed to three. the valves looked like they had been lapped in by a 3 year old, it had'nt been ported at all!! It had cheap springs guides and retainers and the chambers were a right mess, I paid nearly £1k for it and on top of that they supplied a three layer steel head gasket that they said would be fine, which turned out to be about 6 thou thinner than a standard one which caused piston to head contact!!!!!!!!!!
