i need someone who really knows their shit here. i was planning to go with an fj20 turbo (2L nissan turbo donk) but due to the cost of this sort of stuff i'm having a few small doubts. would i be better off to buy a g200 and work the shit out of that? will the g200 bolt straight in (no engineers cert required?)? really want an answer guys - a good one. what's a good g200 worth? (just in case it is the way to go - don't wanna get ripped off). thanks guys. post or email quartermile_@hotmail.com
cheers |

a g200 is not capable of quite as much power as a fj20 but its a hell of alot easier to put into a gemmy. same gearbox same mounts same wiring all that shit
a g200 will cost you less and be more practical, maybe not quite as much power but thats arguable |

mate its not a matter of what people thing its up to you and what you want mate I would go the FJ20T for the reliability and how much quicker it would be standard over a worked 2 liter isuzu motor
BUT mate it all boils down to what you can afford

Hey Nos
Like IDAREU2 say's it is up to you I have a g200 (sohc)
and have spent close to $3k on it I had to get it built
by a engine builder since I know fuck all about engines
it go'es good but I wish I had gone for an fj20t or sr20det
cheers
