Looking great Marcus, liking the red detailing and tidy inlet too. How's it all going, any teething issues. Bet the extra oomph still plants a smile on yer face

Thanks for positive comments guys, Thankfully Ive no real problematic teething problems
Car handles really well & Ive kinda stopped/slowed down with the quick cornering & overtaking,
Massive fun at first but I was being a bit of a Bellend revving it out the street
Hope to keep it running well and now Ive got my trackday tyres(Thanks Ritchy)
fitted to old wheels then I can try it out on Knockhill rather than public road.

This sounds very interesting... sorry if I've missed something previously but have a couple of questions.
Is this a total engine and box change or is there some way of converting to a vvc head and vvc assembly?
I was told that a 160 head could be fitted to my 120 minus the vvc gear, fit some different cams throttle body and remap giving somewhere close to a 160. True or bullpoo?
Now the rude question...what sort of damage was done to your bank account?

This was a Complete engine change but Ive kept the IB5 gearbox, so far it's holding out well and is a nicer box compared to the sloppy PG1,
I have a backup PG1 should the current one go Bang..
The VVC head can & has been fitted to other bottom ends but why do half a job ??
The question of what it cost - Well, if I never told the Mrs then I wont be telling you lot..
Wasnt as much as you would think & much cheaper than the last guy offering the 160VVC conversion wanted to charge,
and a deal was done for my old engine with some goodies on it..
Send an enquiry to Goldie if your interested..

As the bottom end seems ok at the moment and i really only want a bit more oomph I can't see the point of a complete change. Also it's got to be cheaper to just change the head/cams than a complete engine change?

The question is can the vvc gear be fitted, is it worth doing or can you get the same sort of power without vvc but different cams?

Think i'll also post this in the relevant section!!

Nice motor btw
