In malaysia, the common thing to do (road tax restrictions - 1.8-litre cars CANNOT be upgraded to 2-litres) is bolt on the 4G92 Mivec head, ECU and wiring onto a GSR 4G93T lower block (ART 4AGZE pistons and duratech conrods) and run either an E-manage or total standalone (Microtech LT10) - i know a fella running 280 fwhp on 1.1 bar boost with an E-manage + Evo 3 TD05H in his Proton Satria, and another fully built engine (Wiseco, Duratech, ACL, ARP, blah blah blah) doing 380 fwhp on a TD05/06 hybrid with no reliability problems.
How common/uncommon is such a setup downunder?
