If not , what size can I put in besides a 1.9? nickwarner Veteran / Moderator Feb 7, 2013, 9:54 PM Post #2 of 5 (1355 views) Re: upgrade engine Sign In You can put in a 1.9 unless you want to make custom motor and trans mounts, custom CV shafts, custom trans linkage and an aftermarket ECM that needs to be programmed fully using HP tuners software while run on a dynamometer. Obviously, this would cost far more than this is worth. I feel your pain with this. Back in 08 I unfortunately owned one myself and got to replace a cracked head. But 1.9 is all you will be replacing it with. May as well either scrap the car or rebuild the engine. I'd recommend scrap the car. Pretty much anything of this year that went to the salvage yard went there because of the engine. schmutte New User Feb 7, 2013, 10:27 PM Post #3 of 5 (1347 views) Re: upgrade engine Sign In Ok thanks, Was try to turn it into a rally car, but guess not do u know of a good car to turn in to a rally car ?

Maybe you'll get a better idea what it takes to make a good rally car. Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved. nickwarner Veteran / Moderator Feb 8, 2013, 4:42 PM Post #5 of 5 (1300 views) Re: upgrade engine Sign In DS has a good point on that. See what other racers are running and how they build their cars to compete. I personally would pick Subaru as a rally platform. They are tough, already have a great AWD system and they can be had with a respectable turbocharged engine from the factory. Plenty of used ones out there to find that could be put into race-ready form with the right amount of work.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
