How do you easily identify a g180 is there a casting on the exaust side of the block, coz I know that there is on the g200 so is this the same with the g180. The reason I ask is that I'm gonna go look at a wreck which has a 1.8l motor.
Stepping up form a stock G161 to a pretty stock (i think)g180 would there be much of a noticible difference in power or would I just be better off staying with the 161.
Also do you have to tell the RTA or anything, coz I know that on my rego the engine number is not recorded. And I mean to be legal I dot want to break any laws as I break enough when ever I drive. |

G180 should be cast on the exhaust side of the block. Same as G200.
Outright power will be almost the same but you'll notice that there is more torque. Go for the G180.
You'll need to give the RTA the new engine no. They'll probably ask to see a reciept for the engine then have a quick inspection. Shouldn't have any problems. |
