Its been done but IMO stick with a 2.0 WiIlliams or a 1.8 head with 2.0 megan bottom end etc not the Gtt engine.

You ned to use the 1.1 engine mount to make it work it can be done but wy bother for HP (assuming were on about relaible HP around 150 the 2.0 is the better engine,

Yea true but im just gonna put a GTT engine coz my friend has one sitting around that he is going to give me for free. Then im prob gonna sell it coz I know it will go bang again very soon most GTT's do. how about wiring loom and stuff?

The engines don't go bag its a very good engine realy people do the cheap boost tricks and don't build the engines properly for the power and they have trouble.

Build them right and there fine for mega HP just like most engines.

Wiring looms well have a look there not much to them there few wires its an old engine no ECU etc.

Gearbox fits and your shafts fit the box you use.

Do a search though there a few bits been written about them.
