Gti-6 or xsara vts engine!! Or be daring and put a 3ltr v6 in the rear, depends on money.... how much you want to spend?

[pageybaby]

umm £1500

[vtr130]

pushing for a vts conversion mate!! Depends if your doing it yourself?? Can get a decent s engine for around £350-500 or a nice gti-6 engine £600+

[williamsvts]

no way could you do anything other than a vts conversion on that budget.

[vtr130]

Depends whoz doing it!! If its dun in a farm with rakes and wood then it may be cheaper ;)

[Karl]

are you going to do it yourself?
if so, should easy be able to do a 16v conversion for that price..

[p-nut]

there is a place that does a vtec conversion, putting it in the rear of the car, but i think its about 5k:P

[vtr130]

Could get alot in the rear it has been done a few times rs turbo, vtec, type r, 3ltr v6 etc...

For £1500 I would go DIY turbo. But if your not to bad a DIY and can weld the XU and K series are not stupidly hard to fit. It is a lot of work though.

z cars do the vtec engine in the rear and i fink its fitted for £10k.

does the gti-6 engine sit on the same mounts as any saxo engine or wud they need to be fabricated?

Id go for an S conversion tbh, do it yourself save a few pennies then get a few bits slapped on the S lump.

[Quick]

For £1500 I'd sell the R and buy a newer S!
Less hastle for insurance!

upgrading to a VTS will be cheaper than an engine upgrade...
