So I put all my DG bits on an unknown DJ and what a revelation! The torque of the thing was ehat I had been searching for, right up until a big end let go :D
Then the same bits went onto an SS (basically an MV, the low compression 2.1) and whilst it was ok and pretty good on fuel, it lacked the "punch" of the DJ
Had I put it on EFI I dont doubt that I would have been even more impressed.
Food for thought, but just bear in mind that a FULL wbx rebuild will eat up about £2800 in parts alone, assuming all goes well...

how do you get to £2800 in parts? are you replacing everything whether needed or not ?
