why do want to swap?, what size engine does the pug have now?

The GA 15 wont give the same power as the pug engine

it have a stock 1.8....( a big mudder!) I love the car but dont want to inherit the high cost factor of maintenance of that engine......from my research, they have been known to give probs and cost a lot to fix...... bear in mind the car/engine is 10 years old

talking from my experience I have a pug 1.4 just as much power if not more than the 1.8 (few mods) no mechanical probs. Mine is a PBC (10yrs old) parked it up bout 1 yr now (because I bought a new car).

There are place you can get parts relatively good prices. Check Zorce forum to

well yea i know the SR20 fits in cause i saw alot of ppl with this 306 with this conversion but they had a gearbox..and well gearbox does be smaller than tranny...so maybe it wud fit easier with a gearbox...

what about a CA18DET, thaz like a 1.8 and the CA not so big...i doh know so i asking also.

what about a 4EFE is it...the starlet turbo engine...not sure...

do u wanna go boost or stay n/a
and are u willin to put a gearbox or u want tranny...

but the normal b15 engines work nromal so thaz a safe scene if u jus looking for someitng normal

How much mileage is the car reading?

I have one is 12yrs old 1.8 and doing just over 150,000km.And is now i am facing some wear & tear issues...I understand your concerns about the age and maintenance costs however, i would advise to weigh out all pros & cons in your decisions..
