hi ppl just thought id say hi i just bought a 1200 ute n thought yas could help me with it.

ok b4 it gets sprayed in the new ford blueprint i have to work out best enigne to drop in

im thinking of an a15 but trying to work out what must be done to turbo it any ideas and where i may find the motor in melb any help or advice would be great

thanks mark

hi mark,
i guess you heard it before but the cheapest and seemingly best conversion is the CA18DET. i have a 1200 coupe with this in and have built 4 others for people. A series would be expensive to get reliable hp from and transmission to carry power is near impossible to find.

ok how much work has to go into it for a ca tell me everything and are u in melb

i mean everything i wanna know what im getting into b4 i do it

y i ask is i already have a 200rwkw ca18 180sx

Naw, the A15 is the easiest and best engine for a 1200

Quote:You can turbo a stock A15 if you keep the boost reasonable. But, since you are "boost junkie", you might as well put the CA18DET in ... that is much better for high boost. And light enough to keep the 1200 handling well.

Don't forget to consult the Club Engine tech section. It has some swap info, and discusses the "best engine" topic.

thats the donor motor then, imagine that motor in a car bout 400 or more kg lighter

all i can suggest is to contact me direct as there are a lot of options you can take that range from mild to wild, you definitely have the right donor engine!!! is it ok to post emails etc here?

i have with no prob, ive also got it as a link button on the bottom of all my posts and never coped anything dodgy, some people ask wierd questions sometimes but thats o.k.
