valver or rsi?

[plunky]

hi, thinkin about gettin an engine conversion in my mk1 1.4.... was just wondering what engine was better/faster, valver or rsi?
cheers!

Valver all day dude.
valver is 1.8 16v and the rsi is 1.8 8v. did in my old 1.4 bolted an entire 16v subframe and running gear on you'll love it when its done.

Williams get my vote

so was it a pretty easy conversion then? what was the sort of costs?

 

[Matteh]

for cost, go valver - can get an engine for very little

williams bits are a lot more expensive - though the conversion is pretty much the same

Consider a williams track too - might need 16v arches though

agreed

seriously though..i would say valver

 

[Wilkeh]

Rsi if u want to blast around town. If ur looking for good straight speed, of course a valver

 

[AmirClio]

goes without saying winston.
Cost all depends on what you pic the engine up for (peanuts) and then whos gonna do the conversion. I did it myself!

 

[plunky]

i think its been taken off buddy can't seem to find it.

i'd put a wanted up on there he might get in touch, he said if he doesnt sell it its off in his garage for spares.

RSi for low down grunt... better on lower speeds

But 16v for all out top end power
