Bought a holden rodeo the other week to transport my motorbike (skylines and trailers dont mix well). Looking at getting an sr20det or maybe an rb in the rodeo, if an rb will fit. Called the usual places xspeed, hyperdrive, speedworks but can remember reading somewhere , there is a place that does the supercharged commodore conversions to hilux's and rodeo's. Anyone know where this place is and what its called?

whats it going to cost to build and turbo the stock engine? keeping in mind that it already has over 200 000kms on it.

Spoke to a place called Chevtorque who do the supercharged conversions reckons looking anywhere between 11-16.5k, speedworks hyperdrive and xspeed have all said between 9-11k for an sr20det conversion. I am in two minds now, what you guys think i should do?

sr

just means that it prob wont be suited as much to off road/track work and trailer pulling wont be as good

dont forget a supercharged commo engine will have more torque than the sr (which is what you want for track/off road stuff and trailer pulling) - but i reckon that a sr conversion is a bit more unique

plus on cruises it will be an attraction :devil:

but if your sole intention is hauling a trailer full of moto bikes, plus pulling the car itself, then maybe your better off with an engine rebuild + turbo

i think 11-16.5k for pulling a trailer is a bit too much and an sr wont cut the mustard for all that type of work all the time

NIB- thanks ill give him a call on monday. Although i spoke to x-speed today and they were saying much more costly to rebuilt the rodeo engine as everything turbowise will need to be "custom"

I got the rodeo so i wont have to pull a trailer can just put the bike on the back >_<

As far as off road work goes it wont be too much as i wont wanna scratch my new paint. It'll be just enough to get me to my riding spots.

Btw i also plan on getting

New spray job

airbagged suspension (and bodywork to fit rims on so i can drop it on its ass)

20inch oasis rims

Interior/sound system a bit later down the track once ive saved some more money

All up this should be one mean mini truck

why custom

surely there should be some forged pistons that you can get that might need a bit of custom machining and the rods might need to be toughened up, but what else apart from lowering the compression a bit and putting the turbo on .... and as im writing this im realising - efi (or isnt it?)

hmmmmm - actually could be a bit tricky

just wondering.....

with the whole airbag suspension setup how low when fully dumped are you thinking? few mm off the ground (for show use obviously) or.....?

with 20's you are gonna re-fabricate the exsisting gaurds or go ready made custom ones?

Refabrication seems to be able to do it (so im told), although the c-notch is the only thing that has me thinking twice. As you cant get a c-notch engineered unfortunatley. Can get bump stops put in to stop it at 100mm and take them out if i ever decide to enter a show.

    • 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
