   why would you put an older engine into a newer car? would it not make sence to get a c2 vtr engine?

   lol thats why I brought up the JP4.
   
   Why put an old engine in a newer car, and if you are doing a conversion why not go 16V instead of 8?
   
   Only thing I can think of is either he has a engine already, can get one cheap or its due to 'regulations' of events or something
   
   
   Any particular reason he wants to stay 8V mate?

    wiring would be a nightmare probs,they use a canbus interior loom etc so connecting up would be a pain,unless you could use his c2 1.1 loom and just plug a vtr ecu into it
    
    but yea why not just go 16v tbh
