You're going to have such wiring nightmares doing 3 looms up.

just go Mivec dude, seriously.

Listen to the voice of reason.

edit: sounds like you also get to rip out a dash Bennoz! Never done it in an FTO, but it was a bitch enough in an 80s Magna!

Just keep ringing around wreckers. There are dozen of wreckers that stock FTO bits & halfcuts on Ebay and trading post.
You've got 1 week till I get back from OS to find one!

just go the mivec if that's all you can find. sure, it's a pain in the ass to wire up, but do you of ALL people really need a non-mivec WITH A TURBO?! a mivec like aza's will give you all the fun you'll need, and then when you've got the money down the track you can get a project motor for yourself to fix up.
I'll have an FTO one day... i swear!

until then:
1. 2001 Merc-Benz A160 (porta-loo on wheels)
2. 2007 Peugeot 307 TDi (more fun than you'd expect)
3. [url=ttp://ftoaustralia.com/v3/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=25373]2009 Mitsubishi Triton Di-D (a monster in its own right)[/url]
4. 1992 Nissan NX Coupe (club car and project car)
5. 1996 Holden SB Barina - "The Nugget"
6. 1996 Jeep XJ Cherokee Sport - The Budget Build
7. 2010 Toyota Landcruiser 76 Series - V8 Goodness... - Build coming soon.
8. 1990 Audi 90 manual - The delightfully dignified daily driver
