bolt in a H25 or a H27, if you already have the 2.5 v6 or just spend money on regearing it you are running larger tyres.

I Measured one up for a vit recently. It would have to be one of the most complicated conversions available IMO. And the rest of your vit will shatter at even the sugestion of that sort of power.
Go the 2.7 V6

I'd be changing them to the 1.6L versions ( like mine ) then you'll have all the pick up you'll need at 1 / 100th of the work

Cool.
Useless to this guy though as the H20 has almost the same power as a 4AGE anyway.....

They have 5.12 ratios. Fit these to your SV for better (lower ) gearing.
