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

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
