Aygo gearing is very long and the engine (without supercharger) felt a bit flat after 5000rpm IMHO.
Otherwise, it ticks the boxes

Hey Scootz, any progress on this project?
My wife's Roadster Coupe was recently written off by a mad Aygo driver; the rear suspension is well and truly bent (the entire de-dion axle, x
brace and the subframe bracket where the de-dion locates) so just pondering the possibilities of fitting something else in.

Hi Mike
I went with the Aygo engine in the end. The good news is that the engine and box fit.
I'm not sure how I'm going to deal with the offside engine mount as it's solid and sits above the subframe. I was hoping it would
go below, so I could simply drop the engine from underneath should I need to.
If that's not an option, then I'll just have to plan the electrics / plumbing to allow for easy subframe removal (it is only 4 bolts after
all).
I also plan on using TB's from a Triumph Speed Four as these roughly have the same port size / shape. Again, it involves a bit of fabrication
as I need to lose one of the bodies, but it's no big deal.
And that's ad far as I've got just now...

Nice, that fits rather neatly, and I happen to know of a recently written of Aygo 
Did you know there's an aftermarket turbo conversion for this engine?

Why not just use the triumph triple throttle bodies, if you need measurements for the 955i version (200ish RS Sprint) they are in my blog under
images/engine - link in my signature. there is also details of how I mounted them on a flat plate laser cut by lasermasters to fit them to my engine.
May be of use, dead easy to do and costs around £20 to get them fitted. Looking at Aygo engines then looks like they will do the job.

Cheers Ugg. The 955 ones are too big to get them in-line with the 1KR-FE inlet ports (even with linkage modification).

No problems, just looked the the atp direct to head bling dimensions and that engine is tiny, I thought my zetec SE was small but......

These people supply 80 and 120 BHP versions of the 1KR-FE (Aygo) engine, so there's plenty of scope to get more than the stock 68 BHP from
it.
C1GTi turbo charge it. They reckon the engine is good for far more than the 95BHP they give it, but they think the standard gearbox is only good for
100 BHP.

My wife isn't very happy about it however. The Aygo driver swung out to the right side of the road to take a left hand junction (obviously
the Aygo being a huge, 18 wheeler truck) ignoring the fact she was passing in the opposite direction at the time. He punted the Smart into a parked
car putting a big dent in the side of it, and the front of the Aygo was destroyed. The roadster looks ok from a distance, but the bent suspension
pretty much assures it being written off. Turns out it wasn't even the drivers Aygo, he owns a local garage and it was his customers. Oops.
Scootz, could you fabricate a new engine mounting bracket to shift the mounting point under the subframe, and then use a stabiliser bar from the front
of the subframe to the cylinder head (like a classic mini) to stop it twisting?
EDIT: scratch that, just seen it's a big cast lump that's part of the timing cover. You could hack it off and have it alloy welded I
suppose.
