The 200 series engine would be great, but I don't know if you'd fit it in there, plus the wiring would be much more complex.

Good luck though, be sure to post up your experiences whichever way you go.

A few more updates on the conversion and the pages.

I've replaced the radiator with one by Aussie Desert Cooler, which seems to have solved the overheating issue (although I'll have to wait for summer to be positive).

The big change though is that I've installed a Tunit performance chip, which has transformed the vehicle. I can't believe how much difference it's made. I got more of a performance boost from installing the chip than from the conversion itself! Holy crap it goes now!

Performance details and some comparisons before and after here:

When I get a chance, I'll do a proper video of the conversion and put it up.
