If you're asking how much it would cost, I think we can all agree that this will never get any further than this thread.

Cost is all relative.

Relative to how much things cost in your own country - parts car, fabrication, wiring.
Relative to how much you actually want to see this through - engine transplants take serious dedication to see them to the end, especially WHEN (not if) things go wrong.

How much can you do for yourself or with a friend? If nothing then I would suggest buying a scrap car, pulling it appart and putting it back together, practice, learn bits about it and when ur happy with what you know, then you can scrap the practice car and start making your own conversion.

Forget horse power how fast do you want to go?

Speed maxing out at 140-148 mph is that fast enough for you ?

Prepared to spend £120 - £200 to get that fast ?

Or are you a raving loony and want more ?

The last person who seriously upgraded their turbo charger and then also fitted a supercharger produced so much power they hit a wall and effectively totalled the car and they did know what they were doing. too much power too little mass.

Travelling in a car that only weighs 1040kg at that speed with brakes that are at least 20 years old needs balls of steel and the brains of a newt.

This is what worries me about cars on the road fiddled with by ''joe and his pal'' ''played with '' in a private garage or even played with on the street.

One reason I drive the safest car in the world in case I meet a 'home made' coming the other way....!!!!
