Alright, So ive got *This fortes too slow, Im getting an engine transplant* into my head. Now after a little searching i found plenty of Old and used VTR/VTS Engines. But i found this

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CITROEN-ENGINE-1-6-TU5-8V-SAXO-VTR-PICASSO-XSARA-NEW_W0QQitemZ300111532024QQihZ020QQcategoryZ10376Q QssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohost ing

Its supposed to be a new TU5 (1.6 8v) Lump. Whats your opinions? If any........And yes the *buy a VTR/VTS* Has been said but its not something I want to do.

Im keeping the 1.1 Transmission since the Ratios arnt much different from the Forte to the VTR/VTS Just shorter Shifts.

i saw this the other day, shockked that its brand new!! its allot of work changing engines but best off gettin a 2nd hand engine as this one will go for lots. allot of work tho to convert engines as you have to look at brakes, pas etc. better off selling yours and buyin a vtr. depends what you want to do tho!!

ur gonna need alot more than just the engine to get it working, but a brand new vtr engine in a 1.1 would be sweet :)
