try that link again. I have made it public so you can access it.

How much are you getting the 2C for?

One thing you have to keep in mind is that the 2C is not like the original engine, its sluggish in terms of acceleration and the torque is only a little bit better. But it sure is cheaper to run and maintain.

Thanks.. Now I can see the photos, really nice work..

I gave 500$ for a hole car, and it have gone 78.000km, sow I am really happy. But it is a 2C turbo..

But that it is cheaper to run, it is the reason I wound it.. And I don’t like the way the 2.4 benzin engine is built, like the round exhaust manifold and only 3 crankshaft bearings..

A 2C turbo surely would be add some extra power compared to the standard 2C but i doubt its reliability in water fording situations. I agree on the cost factor.

I am guessing you mean A2 to an A1? The arms are the same but as you said you will have to change everything else.
