is the F22C a honda prelude engine i have seen a AE86 with a s200 engine woukld have cost abit i think an sr20 or 4AGE is happening im also looking at a VQ20ET or VQ30DET what about these nissan engines i really didnt wanna use a V6 though as balance would be stuffed.

I had a 13b bridgeport with a modified niki (factory 12a) carb and it made 150rwkw, was a heap of fun in a s2 rx7, with a well tuned webber i would have gotten a good 50hp increase.

As stated before, turbo on an na motor is fine, just like bolting a turbo onto any na tho you have to keep the boost low.

OK, my 2c..

Doing EJ motor is going to be next to impossible, I would let this dream go quick smart.

What you do want is something reasonably powerful with a broad and reasonably high revving. That way you have the grunt to go fast, and done need to break traction everywhere OR fight for power. How to do it? Sub average capacity 4 with a turbo.

If I remember correctly.. It is either an RB20 crossmember OR RB20 engine mounts you need to be able to bolt a CA18 or SR20 straight into the KE chassis.

A CA18DET with a T28 will give you a good 160rwkw that wont make it an absolute shitfight to drive and will make it a low 12 second car. This is what I would do. Personally I would probably fit a T25G off an S13 SR20DET and run the stock ecu with a decent exhaust and cooler.. Call it up to 140rwkw and just keep smilling.

Easy to do, cost effective, good on fuel, cheap to maintain, no need for excessive modification or non factory setups and a fast car.

All in all, win.

yes i know of this engine the only 3SG that was made in RWD format nice engine but i think im looking at a 3RZFE 2.7LT from a 97 hilux keep it NA for awhile then turbo it when i get more cash to buy a nice big snail.

Nope wont be going black top or 20V or 16V it will be a 3RZFE i have checked this out read alot about them fit into earlier rollas without much hassles w58 box fits mounts is the only mod needed to mak eit fit and a custom intake plenum for bonnet clearence not much on youtube about the engine though that i cud find.

I know its out of a hilux 97

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day  
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
    • Are you 100% sure this isn't tune related?
    • 140-150 across the board. At this point hoping the grounding harness fixes it. My grounds are all tied to the chassis and none to the battery. For SR and KA that’s never been a problem for me but had a few other guys here and Reddit who told me RB really like a very solid ground setup tied to the battery so going to try that next, I’m stumped if that doesn’t do it. Never had a car have spark and fuel and not fire off before. Only thing I can think is the spark is intermittent/weak because of grounds nothing else really makes sense at this point 
    • I am having close to the same issue. Can you help me with what wire you grounded to get your pump to trigger?
