1.2L turbo race engine advice
Hi All,
time for next project... a 1.2 turbo race motor. As I see it I have 3 options which I can turbo
- L12 but not many go fast bits, gear ratios, lsd, for race use
- B16 de stroked
- D12/D16 hybrid
I'd prefer dohc 16v, don't really need vtec but maybe nice to have. So 2 questions
1) with the D series path it seems I can't drop a d12 crank into a d16 if I read it right so need to put a d16 head on d12 block. Does that work and are there any dohc d series turbo manifolds?
2) is there a crank I can put in the b series to get it down to 1.2 off the shelf?
any wisdom is appreciated!
