How easy would it be to drop a 1.8 turbo engine into a ZR or ZS? Surly this engine is an easier/cheaper conversion than the T series turbo and with a little fettle would produce 180+ bhp reasonably easily?
Take my ZS120, a 1.8 Turbo engine would bolt straight to my gearbox, engine mounts, wouldnt need beefier shocks (unlike T series conversion) in my head all would need to be done is a mod to the front section of my exhaust to meet the different manifold and some wiring changes on the ECU
Im just thinking this will be the next engine for conversions as T series Turbos run out. K series is much lighter, better on fuel and loads of cheap 75/ZT to pinch them out of
