A 2.0 16v pretty much bolts in, piss easy, very quick.

Personally wouldn't bother with 8v upgrades.

NOT interested in 2 ltr 16v transplants as they just bolt in. piece of piss. nearly as common as subarus. not my thing at all.

imo 2ltr engines are heavier than the 1600 and i want to keep it fairly light. the 8v 1600 engine isnt difficult to turbo. was just lookin for pics of engine bay lay outs and stuff as there aint really a lot of room.
