    Not sure on the price but from what i remember they are not very tunable, you would be better off putting in a 1.6 mivec imo or if you want to go the whole 4wd route an Evo engine and running gear would be a better option, but be prepared for ALOT of work if you go the 4wd route, have you built anything before?

    I know ther not Tunable But I dont really plan on tuning it just the usual intake exhaust dump valve the Evo engine would have too much power for a fwd.

    I was looking at doing a Civic with a Dohc vtec conversion but its been done to death and Colts are easier to find clean

    You'll have to change all the running gear and the likes. A GSR engine will tear a 1.3 colts hardware to bits. You can kiss goodbye to your drive, gearbox, clutch etc.

    The 1.3 colt and a cyborg are miles apart. It's not only different engines they have.

    The colt's braking system would need a massive overhaul aswell.

    That goes without saying tho I know you cant double the power of a car and not do anything about the brakes Suspension

    Anyways anybody know want these engines cost Im guessing around 300-400 euro

    They're rare enough to find in good nick. Best bets would be Traynors or the likes. Have the engin compression tested etc before buying though. Or would you be planning on taking it apart and rebuilding up anyway?

    Thats more 4g92 (1.6 mivec) price range. Your looking at anything from 600-1200 depending on what your getting with it, such as loom, gearbox, drives etc.

    Do you plan on making it AWD?
