Hang on ruredi: what your saying is it's cheaper to engineer a 1600 than a 2 litre ?? Doesnt power to weight come into it ? So your saying I can stuff a SR16 into it cheaper than L20 motor ?? So on that LZ Hybrid, I can get a old L14 block and do a hybrid even cheaper ?? Or if you could find 1, an L13 and not engineer at all !!
Hey mate,
No I never said that I wouldn't have to engineer the car with an LZ Hybrid.
In Victoria you cannot engineer/register anything bigger than a 1.8 turbo these days (without great difficulty and/or money). The idea of putting an L20B crank is to stroke it out to a 2L but still be able to engineer and register.
Using the L16 block keeps weight down and keeps the L16 engine number for ease of engineering.
