[QUOTE="Sdperkins, post: 697878, member: 14629"] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=3]Hi guys, I'm running the standard ma10 in my k10. However, I'm getting a little bored of the shortage of power and top end. Carrying out an engine swap is way above my knowledge and skill set, let know having the correct tools and equipment for the job. So I'd have to pay someone to do it or it just becomes a dream not carried out. If my understanding is correct you can fit a cg13 onto the ma10 gear box? But if I'm going to the length of swapping the engine I think I want to go for something more than a 1.3. I know if you stuck a turbo on it etc you'd get more from it. I also know there is ga16 conversion but I'm unsure if that requires a different gear box or not? And I know some people on here have done an SR20 conversion but I don't know how much work is really required in order to get it working, as I know a lot of you do it yourself. And if you really know what your doing then you could but a 2L Subaru engine and the AWD system in the k10 but that's way way way above me!!!!! My question is which would be best for money? I don't wish to swap the engine to think later on down the line, I wished I swapped it for something with a bit more power.[/SIZE][/FONT] [SIZE=3][FONT=Verdana]I've been looking at prices for different engines and found the following information[/FONT][/SIZE] [LIST] [*][SIZE=3][FONT=Verdana]cg13 with low miles (under 4k it says) for around £650[/FONT][/SIZE] [*][SIZE=3][FONT=Verdana]ga16 anywhere from £200 upwards with mileage of 80k upwards[/FONT][/SIZE] [*][SIZE=3][FONT=Verdana]SR20 anywhere from £800 upwards with mileage of 100k upwards[/FONT][/SIZE] [/LIST] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=3]Something else that is a little different....[/SIZE][/FONT] [LIST] [*][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=3]Ford Zetec 2.0L Black Top which is about £850 brand new, comes with most parts but still requires extras, like gear box, loom, etc.[/SIZE][/FONT] [/LIST] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=3]I understand the more power you put under the hood that you need to consider bigger brakes. Something I don't wish to change are the alloys (13's) on my car, as silly as this may sound but I like them and don't wish to change them in order to fit bigger brakes or is this something that cannot be avoided. I've created a poll to see what a majority of you would pick out of the options above. I would appreciate all the help and information I can get. Thanks in advance [/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
