The people I know who do that sort of thing prefer the lightest possible components for best power to weight ratio . An all aluminium (block and head) engine would be probably better and a transverse one with acceptable production diff and gearbox ratios helps keep the costs down . Getting short enough drive shafts for the desired track width can be a problem at times so using small car bits is important .

I have seen them built around a 1 litre 3 cyl Charade engine , 1600 stretched Suzuki Cultis engine and a Honda 1600 SOHC with CVT box . I would look into the all aluminium Diahatsu HD series 1600 16V engine (Aplause , De Tomasso G203 Charade) because its reasonably lightweight and has some interesting ratios able to be bitzered together . Rospen Motorsport (Ross Macenzie) knows these thing inside out from rallying them so for performance its reasonably cheap .

On the dirt turbo torque is difficult to use because of traction issues - in Khana Cross anyway so I'm told .

Cheers A .

now has recaro replica seat and saas 5 point...

Cheers A .

the power to weight ratio is excelent..i can pick the entire engine with turbo manifold and turbo...sure it kill your back at 2am when there is no one to help you....its not that heavy....has alloy gearbox no 4wd trans axle...goes well 8 pound boost...i am looking for a 2 ltr nissan motor or similar ca18 or sr20deta close friend raced these buggies had CAMS registration and all so his inmput was help full

most have trouble with cv joint failure...only had one subru cv fail...the full on big hp buggys rebuild porche cvs to suit the drive train...got pictures...

My son has a ca18det complete with wiring harness and ecu sitting here collecting dust had 115XXX something on the clock when i Pulled it out has the sr20det turbo on it did an sr20det transplant on it think he was looking at 1k for everything

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
