Well he could chuck a W16 in if he wanted to, but hes asking about an SR.

Conversions are an expensive exercise and time consuming. I strongly believe that 1j is cheaper/stronger/makes more power then an SR, so before the guy jumps into it, i thought i would bring those points up so he can decide for himself.

But i guess being a cocky smartass and not putting forward anything useful is where its at. My bad.

hows about those figures

108,920 hp at 102 rpm

5,608,312 lb/ft at 102rpm

I reckon they should do drag racing with oil tankers. Quickest quarter nautical mile from 0 knots haha. Would be more entertaining than lobster racing.

where is a good place to get a 1j or 2j?

the pintara cross member works because the CA20 that comes in them uses the same mounts a CA/SR motor... one of my mate put a CA18 in and that was different... the standard CA20 box bolts up to a CA18 also... maybe that would be the path to go

otherwise the SR will be great but you need a SR box to and possibly a custom tailshaft

hope i can help

CA20 boxes are also f**king shit and will be blown up in no time. I know I ran one behind my CA18det bluey which was dead standard apart from exhaust and still shat a box

come on Josh... i just said it would bolt up.... i never mentioned that it would be strong!

I ran one behind a CA18 as well with similar luck... but who said this bloke would drive as hard as we would?

Just get the SR going mate...

And if you are as good with electronics as you say you are.... we should talk as I need some stuff sorted :)

why not lol nah mite go rb26 not sure, or maybe 25/30

There was a 2jz r33 for sale from 1 of the importers, forgot which 1....it looked sweet as.

I am aware of both of them thanks damo, anywhere else?

private sales (off forums) or even yahoo auctions japan. couple guys of the forums import stuff, including some businesses.

That could have something to do with ur grandma driving as well lol :D

Just incase anyone was wondering out of interest I got this car going I picked up an sr20de with box loom and ecu. Bolted it onto a ca20 cross member and used standard gearbox mounts and standard driveshaft from pintara. Used sr20 power steering pump and connected the standard 31 lines to it. Car doesn't go too bad for what it is and is much better in fuel.

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
