Well sorry to disagree CP, but one thing I did forget to mention was that the engine will run on lpg
So no worries about emmissions, and, also I plan to keep the k18 ecu, thereby making it a relatively simple job. Making the zt electrics work with an aftermarket ecu is one job I don't want to get involved in. So you see, solve the crank pickup, happy days.
Rrobson, power to cost is not the issue, it's power to reliability, the k18 is just not up to decent long term boost. I had contemplated fitting a k14 with an 1800 crank, which would solve some of the issues, but sadly not the short piston issue. Oo, just seen you have a 1.8 t 25, I bet that shifts?
