As you say John 'was' the easiest but several reasons for not going that way now. Under bonnet heat and oil feed issues but mainly the supply of these engines has pretty much dried up now. They don't sound as good as carbs either and as David says, once they are set up, they don't go out of tune.Originally Posted by strat24v
David, I've also been talking to Bogg brothers regarding manifolds. Apparently, they have made several for the X1/9 so have the dimensions 'on the shelf'.
We'll see.

Always liked the X 1/9, and just like the Monte Carlo, it always cried out for way more power. That K20 conversion kit looks like a good option. Bit pricey, but as the advert says, it'll save a lot of time and grief.
The chap that designed the thing I'm building has a turbo K20 in his car. Over 400bhp if you are in the market for a totally mad X 1/9.....
