to be honest i wouldnt really put the 8v engine into ur Si. Your practically half-way there for a larger capacity Zetec engine as it is. Besides te CVH block is a step backwards.

Err.... to be totally honest, you need to get the full clip to get the proper power out of your engine. If you don't have the right parts (which are sometimes done on power rating, i.e. throttle body, and sometimes just on capacity, like the exhaust manifold).

I've posted these details somewhere here before ;)
