gene,
i think it was you who said once that you used an fj series because the sr's dont fit too well...yet on paper the sr is smaller in dimensional size. if it was because of the gearbox,[which i may have read somewhere else, so if it wasnt you im sorry], you would think the fj/sr motors would be designed with the ability to use the old box, for ease of manufacture?

anyways, has anyone considered using a 4-age series toyota motor? [age, agze, age 20v]...im sure you could mod a ae86 box to fit...or a supra box ['84]

or the ca-18det? im pretty sure ther are some s13s that had them, that now have sr-20s in em...

and going the other way, what about the rb20 det, the 2ltr six from the gts-t? they are sooo much cheaper to buy than the sr-20.

just want opinions on these phenomena, I.E, if not why not ect.....just to add to the stockpile i suppose.

still, itd be funny...seeing a 500bhp 2ltr six [hks modded rb20, soooo not stock..] shoehorned into a gem......lol.

dont know much about the engine size etc but i know u can mod a supra box to fit as it has been done before to a 83 tg sedan and i guess it would be a lot more driver friendly

Gene FJ20DET

it wasnt me who said that. i know the fj20 is bigger. must have been some one eles whos never done the conversion but seems to know whats involved. lol
no cuting is needed with the fj so there is deffinatly non with the sr.
the only think i can think of is the sr plennem hits the brake booster and u need to midify something to get around it.

is that the motor they put in the sprinter? if so, its been done by a guy in SA. it looked like a pretty damn neat conversion when i saw it saturday. he says he chose it over a rodeo motor cos it can rev to 10,000 rather than 6000. he claims it would get a mid 14 over the quarter.. not bad at all for a n/a motor

anyways, has anyone considered using a 4-age series toyota motor? [age, agze, age 20v]...im sure you could mod a ae86 box to fit...or a supra box ['84] the Sprinter box does bolt str8 up, its just that they are getting realllly hard to find now. theres a few changes required to make the 4agze go in (they were mounted east - west) but other then that they are alryte.

any rb series engine sounds too long to fit, without moving the firewall back or without putting too much weight forward of the axle.

thought of a 3SGE/3SGTE ?

cheers
bored cunt out lol
