20VT engine HELP

[Anonymous]

can anyone please tell me how hard it is to do this conversion and what parts are neaded from what cars. my bravo has a 1.6 engine. also some ideas on the costs of it would be great. i have the option to buy my bosses scooby cheap, but love the bravo too much and just had full abarthkit fitted.

If I'm thinking correctly, you'll need everything under the bonnet of the Coupe inc wiring loom, and then the front end off an HGT or Marea (as they are wider).... this will mean however, that your Abarth kit won't fit anymore without modification..

that sounds very expensive do you mean the front of the chasis or all the mounts? it sounds scary and not really worth it.

only the wings are wider nothing else is it will fit under the 1.6 wings

i think the SMIC might need moving a bit more than normal... BUT the 16v Turbo fits - cos ASH-G has doen it.



personally I think it's a lot of work & time to do the conversion & there is so much that could go wrong, so you have to re-check everything about 8 times just to get the thing running..... HENCE why I bought one already converted!!


If you wanna buy a 20vt bravo give me a shout.... mine will have to be sold now I think due to circumstances beyond my control!!!
