I think you miss the point of H20 engines and our
cars. Our R16 is also known in Nissan literature as a
H16. The H20 and R16 are essentially the same engine
just configured differently (2L vs 1.6L). I don't
think anyone thinks the R16 is a piece of crap. Yes,
the H20 is used as a forklift engine. But it is also
used in Nissan Commercial vehicles (eg E20) etc. Hence
there are suitable H20 versions out there for simple
engine swaps and H20 parts that can be put into the
R16 to stroke it to a 2L. And as a readily available
engine, its all relatively cheap.

It does make a mighty good argument for an engine swap
doesn't it?
On a related note. I'd be a little wary of all the
H20 hype going on
lately. The specs on the Nissan fork lift page
indicate that the H20
is
good for 60hp at 2500 rpm. Not exactly performance
oriented eh?
