Has anyone got a 1.7 16v Boxer engine for sale.
Have real difficulty trying to find one for decent money and condition.

Yeah was meant to buy a P4 last week from John that he had been running but got written off. Unfortunately the insurance company classified it a cat B write off and it has to go to auction. Spoke to the salvage yard that is collecting it and i can't buy it from them because I am not licensed and it must go to the auction. And so the drama continues!

yes they have changed all the rules on crash damaged cars havent they...:rolleyes:

i think theres a guy called Steve Parry who does suds and maybe 33`s but i dont know his number, but he is way down south somewhere i think.

Someone round here will have a contact for him.

Is the engine going in a sud then?
thats my plan eventually...
cracking engine the 16v so rev-happy :thumbs:

Spoke to Steve, know him quite well, helped an awful lot with the project but even he has not got a 16v engine, just heads. I need the engine for the sud, just been playing with nitrous and blew the motor racing a focus rs. Gave him a bit of a shock, but looking for about 180/190 bhp with the supercharger. Might leave the nitrous alone and only use it to cool the intercooler.

I was lead to believe Nos was good on forced induction as it cools the air into the motor??
Cos i was looking at getting a wizards set-up for my Q4,
what did you actually break by the way?

If you use the nitrous through the gears on acceleration it is fine. It is only used in short bursts but I kept it pinned in top for about 90 seconds the speedo passed 120mph then the nitrous kicked in and the motor started banging. Think that I have destroyed a piston, car still drives. Found a complete car with 55k miles on it in Somerset, so i bought that today and have the long drive down on Saturday. Hopefully engines swapped just after christmas and a post mortem on the 8v. Thanks for all your help everyone.:)
