Any L4 nissan motor with a OS TC-16 head.

Lz20b turbo, as seen in group 5 dr30, s12 and 910 bluebird.

FJ20. abit heavy though.

Ford pinto with a connaught 'warrior' head as seen below.

270hp with 50mm webers

Sweet engines - but rare as rocking horse poo.

I had no idea the FJ engine was much heavier than an 4 cyl L series - Interesting to know

Of course if it's sound we're talking about, then this

1.5L V16 supercharged

Yes, I've posted it before. No other engine sound can make the hairs on my neck stand up like that. The ferraris cruising around Runaway bay baseball fields today while the kids games were on (mmmm - scary :D ) did sound pretty good tho, but I digress.

I woulda posted the BRM but its 1.5L not 2L

It sounded nice yes...but always broke...infact I think BRM only finished 2 or 3 races in the 2 years that they used that motor

basically sums up what the brm was doing 99% of the time

breaking.

it's the godfather of all 4cyl engines.

it's like the common ancestor of all jap and brit 4 bangers.

it survived 3 wars, 2 invasions, 16 military coups, 3 recessions, 1 depression, 1 dot-com bubble and is probably still cooler than you ever will be.

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
