Honda K20A motor.
This is used as a replacement motor for the very unreliable K series in the Elise and Exige overhere.

eurotuner,
cant's say.
I've seen GA15's and SR18's in the 200 series.
SR's and B16's + D16's in the 400 series.

Can't say how much work conversion is required for the Nissan's.

u have to change out axle...
most likely you would have to get rear disc brakes to better your braking power.

Also the some early 400series used the D16A motor and gearbox before the Kseries was developed in 1.6 form.
If you do some research I am sure you can do this as if it were factory fitted.

I honestly haven't seen any tidy work on Rovers that have done the engine change, hopefull u'll get some good work done on it. But it's a shame u don't want to break away from the norm and tune the K series, though a bit expensive to do.

Thanx for the advise guys its gonna help. I also heard that the gearbox maynot line-up(NISSAN ENGINE) so this means more modifications, has anyone seen a manual NISSAN setup ona ROVER 200??
