Hi all!

Hi Everyone.

I'm from Trinidad, in the West Indies.

I'm a moderator on the www.trinituner.com forum. This is a Trinidad based tuning forum that encompasses tuning throughout the Caribbean.

My girlfriend and I have recently acquired a Skoda Felicia that need some work.

It also needs engine, g/box and axles.

OEM parts are quite hard to come by here since not many of this model car sold here. Hence I am thinking of doing an engine swap.

The most obvious swap (so I've been told) would be for a VW front end. However VW parts are very costly here, whereas Japanese parts are not.

I'm thinking of swapping the original 1.3 (75HP) engine for one of the following:

Nissan SR20DE - 2.0L, 16V
Nissan SR20DET - 2.0L, 16V, Turbocharged

Toyota 4EFTE - 1.3L, 16V, Turbocharged
Toyota 4AGE - 1.6L, 20V
Toyota 4AGZE - 1.6L, 16V, Supercharged

Any advice on engine swapping would be appreciated.

Hope I've not offended anyoen by proposing a hybrid project, but it's really not feasible in my location to attempt an OEM project.

Can't help you I'm afraid but welcome anyway!

Had another trip to Antigua this year and I know the Jap cars are popular.
