220 shouldnt be that hard, just throw a NZ head on flows better.
aand glad your sticking with AWd, a rRWD set up i looked into also. (using miata front end subframe and spindle and all, and a stock rear end,, there good for 250 HP. (was going to go with an RX7 rear)
but love wwhat you all are doing. keep up the work. and pictures!

the 1.6L is gone sold. the 1.8L when it was in the Escort made 202whp 222wtq at 15psi. the GTX doesn't have the u.s spec rear diff. we install the j-spec GTX rear diff that we got from CorkSport.
nothin is done to the transmission. the j-spec transmission should hold 250wtq but people have damaged there j-spec transmission w/ 275wtq. so i like i said before 1.6L did 110whp 125wtq. now goal w/ th 1.8L is 220whp 250wtq. but knowing this 1.8L engine is good for 400hp. the engine will have other planes after we had are fun w/ the GTX. Thinking in a year or 2 we would install it in a Miata and let out the engines true power. but for now we want to make the best GTX we can.
side note the cylinder head, and the new block internals are made to rev to 10,000rpm w/ no problems
