just considering as to weather i stick withfull 16v zetec 1800 or go 2.0/2.1?
pros & cons?
need new overbore on standard 1800 block anyway as bores are fooked
then again i am not after stupid power & don't want to spend £2k on aftermarket management
if i go 2L can i still utlise standard management?
any advice appriciated

depends what youve got now and are you turboing it?
pro 2.0
2.0..... readily available pistons and tried and tested method moreso
you gotta buy new pistons on your 1.8 anyway
frst efi management will be enough on a 2.0 litre anyway
con 2.0
you need the 1.8 sump etc
sourcing a 2.0 extra expense
