Im after an engine conversion and im worried about parts avalibility. Is it hard to find DOCH 1800 (injected) parts or would I be better off with a 2.4 Rodeo?
Thanks for the help. |

way better off with the rodeo motor, theres not much gain to be had with a dohc 1800 over a g180 or g200, remember: when naturally aspirated u can't beat cubes |

This is true, but the base of an injected engine is slightly better, mods like quad throttle bodies and high flow filters look to do more for power than a worked carby. And in the future i might look at supercharging it. |

i'm build a g180 twin cam at the moment, and i finding it a bitch to find parts in SA. i have worked on both, 2.6 there is a lot more shit around, all wiring and hose. G180 is a lot simpler. it all depends what u can get cheaper. I got my G180 Twin cam 4 $80 complete, minus comp. |
