Hey All

I am looking at converting my NA6 to 1.8Lt and probably turbo at the same time.

I have done a search and couldnt find much info.
I am wondering:
- if anyone has done this
- what is needed. Eg what model of car you sourced the BP18 from
- if they used anyone and
- who they used in QLD, Brissy area.


Thanks

why dont you stay with the 1.6, it will be cheaper overall.

There is more torque and more power to be gained out of the 1.8

And besides i have already had the dreaded shotnose problem with my engine and a loctite fix has been applied
