UN1 Engine Replacement
Ok, so ive got a mid-engine with a UN1 attached to the 2.2 8V Renault engine which im looking to replace.
Anyone else attached anything to the UN1? I know the GT40 boys use V8's etc, but im limited for space, time and i didnt want anything too
difficult at this stage.
I want to keep the UN1 in exactly the same place as it is now, so that i just need to worry about engine mounts.
Any Ideas? I will need a method of joining the new lump to the UN1 as well.
I was thinking Duratec or Zetec?? something 2.0 or 2.2 or even 2.5?
Kindest Regards,
Richard.

Only joking, and Looking like the build can start soon though!
As said, let me know if you need a hand.
You dont need an old renault engine do you?

How about dumping the UN1, going turbo VAG on standard VW/audi transaxle.
No adaptors, lots of power and a stronger more modern solution.
Have a look under the bonnet of passats etc.

As said, i would like to try and keep it as simple as possible for now, but worth a look for the future i suppose.
Thanks.
