Hi mate.
If I fit a different engine, will it effect the registration?
Hopefully not if you change the donor registration on the V5 log book with the new engine number. Will know better when mine comes to get registered.
Will the 1800 mate to the gearbox I have?
No as the 1.8 is a PG1 box. Yours i think is a R65
How easy would a 2lt Turbo fit?
Problem the same work as the 1.8 VVC K. Electrics (my electrics are easier than the K as no 5AS), driveshafts (a bit of a hybrid), engine mounts, exhaust and possibly 150 MPH clocks and V rated tyres. Would be harder to prove I would have thought proving engine age as the bubble did not come with a turbo lump. Unless you could prove it was a bubble turbo conversion.
If I had the space I would happly do it for you as mine is nearly finished.
Is your windscreen on and bonded on the dash?
