M44 rebuild or new engine?

Hi all,

This is just me wondering what I could do when I win alot of cash suddenly or magically

:fencelook:

Would it be better to just do an engine swop with lets say the new N20 engine?

Or take my pride in my M44 and do the following:

Boring,
Twin Turbocharging :p,
Cylinder heads,
Chip tuning,
Performance pistons,
Aluminium Parts...

i.e modifications to the engine...

I do like 4 cylinder engines...as they are light, but it kinda sucks having a fast slow car :cry:

I'd like people to consider this: "In the United Kingdom, a special Lancer Evolution, the FQ-400, produces 302.13 kW (405.2 hp), from a 4G63 engine. At 202.9 hp (151.3 kW) per liter, it has the highest specific output per liter of any production engine." and "The 4G63 was a 1997 cc version"

Not sure how accurate this is...but the benchmark is as high as with other manufacturers.

Some one shoot me now...(and even today, damn Ford Focus RS sticking to me like glue and VW Passat V6 TSI showing some muscle)

:argh:

So the new Opel Astra OPC 2.0l pushs 206kw and 400 Nm...think this is possible to achieve from an M44 engine (103kw and 180Nm) that is modified ridiculously? (Above mentioned mods)
