4cyl engines with readily available rwd gearboxes:
Rover K-series.
Any BMW 4cyl.
Any Mazda MX5 engine.
Most Ford engines.
Older Vauxhall engines.
Nissan SR20DE(T)
Honda S2000.
I'll start working on that list.
Cheers

Thanks for adding the VVTs in. I think its wrong though as it says a m13aVVT has 100+ BHP, which mine defo dont have.
Its a brilliant resource for all, thanks for sharing

It would seem so but no worries

The figures for the M13a vvt are for the Swift, I'll have to check the Jimny numbers
