Easiest conversion

Vr6 with so much done! Like what?

I don't know much about engines to be honest but there was Schrick cams exhaust etc lots of internals Updated.

think the 220 hp would have been a bit over a over estimate in reality...

I had a wagon just like yours untill it was killed by a VR6 conversion  If I had kept the car my choice for my old wagon would have been a 16v ABF.Unless you have loads of spare cash to feed a VR6 I would go with a ABF and the VR6 ent that much quicker anyhow.

It was stupidly quick used to eat vxrs and scoobys. I don't think I'd go for a vr6 as the insurance is crazy. Was talking to a friend earlier and he mentioned a td lump and something about a basic remap plus exhaust taking it up to the 150 bhp mark is this true?

I'd probably say an abf as well, simply due to the fuel costs, with fuel costs only ever going to go up they could be very expensive to run

you can still do some pretty funky stuff to an abf, check tshirt2k build thread

A deisel PD conversion would be good and as said a remap will see decent figures plus it would be something different not sure if you would get it done for a grand though unless you can buy a donar car cheap enough.My 115bhp pulls well and it hasnt had a remap yet  you would still have good MPG aswell

[ortega277]

That's what I was thinking get a good mpg with a diesel. He also said the torque would be good as well.
Dan would you be able to link me to tshirt 2k thread please as I can't find it. Thanks

Vr6 conversion, simple enough to sort with a donor car.

PD conversion will be a ball ache wiring wise.
