Its not just the engine you need to consider - the gearbox will come into question, which can be just as costly.

16g was too much for mine...

As Bob says, you'll need to budget for a good gearbox; expect yours to let go with an 18G tuned to its potential: around 2k for a 6 speed supplied and fitted or around 3k for a PPG gearset.
