As these two engines are quite new they might probably be a bit more expensive than the 20Valve. Then there is the hastle and cost of adapting a RWD gearbox to the back of one.

Probably the best option would be to secure the 'Westfield fix'. Westfield do have certification for ADR79 and for the sum of $950 the will sell you a modified ECU (changeover, i think) and the all important piece of paper proving compliance.

I too am building a Locost and using the 20Valve, but luckily SA hasnit got around to changing the ICV ADR's. We only have to comply with ADR37/01 and only because TSA was forced to go this far. Even if they do change to ADR79, I only have to comply with the ADR's in force when my application to build was recieved.

I was going for the 20V because; its cheap, plentiful, has good aftermarket support and i can whack a T50 behind it with no hastle. Also it help if i want a little more pep, it can be filled with 4AGZE internals and supercharged which will be phenominal for hillclimb work. Im also looking into the idea of filling the T50 with dog-gears and dogleg first for racing duties.

Out of curiosity, What rear axle is he using??

Im having an absolute bitch trying to find a suitable one.

Also, there are plenty of builders over @ http://www.ozclubbies.com or http://groups.yahoo.com/group/locost_oz

Keep me posted as to how it comes along.
