u have to ring them.

i am doing a fj20 conversion, seems easy to me (will be the same as a SR20 converion) but some of my mates see it as hard work and taking to long Very Happy
like u said, gutter to gutter 24/7 Smile its worth it
expect to spend over $7500

If you don't want the hassel of doing this yourself Steve who used to work at Roccos will do it, he charges $2000-2500 plus parts, takes him between 1-2 weeks and he considers it an easier conversion than putting an FJ into a gemini.

I thought different model SR20's have different design inlet manifolds, some have the thtottle body lower than the head, some have it above??? I would guess the low TB hits the booster, whilst the high one doesn't.

This is something I read somewhere.

Gene, do the FJ20 engine mounts fit to the SR20 block? Are they the same engine mount?
