   xsara vts or gti6
   
   Custom mounts, custom shafts, custom gear linkage, engine bay modifications, huge weight over front wheels...
   
   Use that money to get a vts engine and charge it

   it can be done but it'll cost you a fortune more work involved than you've been told unless you want to spend silly money to get 167 bhp i'd just tune a 1.6 16v engine mate

   2 wires lmfao look at the multiplug, theres over 40 there and you would need more with the 2.0l. can spend over 10k to make this work minimal, or thrown 6-7k at your car and have 200+ at the wheels on some form of charging.

    leave pub talk where it belongs mate, in the pub. agree with ratty, spend the money charging a vts lump for over 200bhp at the wheels. lighter engine= better handling, quicker car and no need to hack fuck out of the engine bay to get it to fit.

    Even so the engine would have to be thrown into the rear if it was even remotely possible. Spend the money charging the engine or buy another car.
