Hi, and welcome aboard.

basically all the A series engines bolt up to the engine mounts, I am sure as my A14 and A15 no mods required. You can get CA18 crossmembers for the 1200's I knew a guy who had everything for $400, basially crossmember and mounts etc.
Then about $1500 for the engine and gearbox itself, then you gotta look at intercooler and plumbing, hooking up the computer, engineer's certificate.

I am quite sure that you could do it for the $3500 mark, providing you already own a 1200. All these prices are estimations, someone with a CA18DET would be able to tell you more. But if you search for CA18DET you'll find all the previous discussions about installing one.

Hope I have provided accurate information and of been a help

Hey all,
After installing stanza strus, my wheels sit further forward then what they used to? I didn't think this was possible as how would it move forward??

Lobster when you put 15's you had robs with the clearance at the back, well my 16's are gonna have troubles at the front, can anybody tell me why this has happened, and how to fix it.

Cheers

ha ha ha ha trust me I thought the same myself, what I actually want to do is get a 4*100 stud pattern, and a gemy has 4*100 so i was hoping a bit of plug and play. But I think it will be easyier and prolly cheeper to get new holes drilled and the old ones welded up

Hey all,
Just a question, would the bubs and axels off any gemini fit a 1200 with a H165 diff and stanza front struts, any one know of such conversions?? I'm only after help not critisism thanks for any help

I got a cut down VL radiator, it takes up most of the front but I got it for $50 from the radiator people, the I only had to change one hose, keeps the motor REAL cool. To mount it I just had to drill 2 hols on the bottom as it had spikes opn the bottom then I just used L shaped mounting brackets.
