Same here! I assumed this must already have some kind of turboed powerplant when I saw it? If it's just an A-series then I'd like to know what it (or you) are on!

In response to your original question, I'm currently fitting an FJ20ET into my 200B. I'm not sure how much it would help you, but have a look in the members' rides, or if you can be bothered you can come and have a look. I really hope it will be running soon :oops:

Why an FJ?
Why not a CA or something like that?
If an FJ, why not an SR because it's lighter helping your power to weight ratio, allowing you to put some more weight over the back where you need it.

Haha, the FJ vs CA vs SR debate has been going for ages...at the end of the day they are all great engines and it just comes down to personal taste. I personally prefer the FJ, I think they are a nicer looking and sounding engine, and like MR 1200 said they are a simpler motor with a reputation for a bullet-proof bottom end. Like Nik said they are heavier which is a disadvantage of theirs.

MR 1200, I've PMed you, if you want to drive down here you're welcome to come and have a look one day. It isn't driving yet but you can get an idea of how it all goes in.
