Hi Guys, I am blowing smoke and I gave that up ages ago!

The old girl needs replacing (after 250,000kms!) so I thought I would see what people had (if anything).

I only need to replace the engine itself so really don't need the manifolds, turbo, loom, ecu, box ect... but will take what I can get.

I would perfer locally as I would like to avoid paying for shipping but I guess someone had to! I don't like my chances :)

If you don't have one, do you know where the best place to source one would be? I purchased my MR2 1/2 cut from Asian Auto Spares and was very happy but haven't found too many sites so any help would be great!

I have PM'd Dan to see if he still has his and I will keep looking around!

Thanks in advance guys!

Todd

dont supose you want to look into rebiulding one? im pretty sure that dan is putting his rb back into his 31.

quite a few people have blow ones sitting around so sourcing another motor to biuld up so you can keep driving wouldnt be hard.

im not sure on costs of something like this but matt had and engine and rebiuld kit for sale a while back. maybe pm him and quiz him on his findings?

if your going to stick with a 20 than thats what i would do because you will know the engine will be strong.

hope that helps.

Cheers Damo.

From what I hear Raymond has an RB20 with genuine 70k kms on the clock for sale (after upgrading to an RB25).

It made around 156rwkw with less mods than mine with Dr Drift when mine made 135rwkw so it is obviously pretty healthy. I hope that with my Exhaust, Filter, EBC, Bosch 040, FMIC, R34 turbo, GTR injectors and Z32 AMF I should be looking at 180-190rwkw...

As I said mine has 250,000kms so it it probably best to get something fresh and start my long-term rebuild... (still not sure if I will flog mine off for parts and buy a blown RB25 and build that up with forgies ect).

Anyway, I hope Raymond still has his motor availible so I can plan the future of my little chitty chitty bang bang. (still fine to drive but want something reliable before Dr Drift comes back down!

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • 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?
