All this 1.8 slagging...
You realise the XU7JP4 is what they use bored out to 2.0l in the WRC cars, ally block, steel liner... It's a MUCH superior block to the GTi6 block IMO. It's only the head that's pants as stock, but they've got masses of meat on them for porting them out...
Or - oh look, how convenient, the Mi16 1.9 head is 83mm bore too...
