thats like asking how long is a piece of string.

it all depends on the spec you want and if you want properly built or just a sandwich plate slapped in and a small amount of boost.

you will never get big power out of the 1.8, would be better building up a 2ltr block and replacing the lot in one go, will get more power and torque straight away with the same things as the 1.8 due to the extra displacement.
