Yeah, they look reasonably similar

Ghostrider - I'm probably going to stick a PI donk in it soon, we've got a few spare, just cant be bothered changing the tank and fuel lines atm. I would just go for a TC or S engine for the extra torque over the 2 litre, but if I'm going to do it I want it to sound good... and sticking filters on each throttle on a PI engine and junking the standard plennum makes a fantastic noise, its rorty, growly and just generally fantastic. Plus we've got them down to a fine art now, basically never have problems because we get the guy in Sydney that tunes the mechanical injection metering units for the Forumla 5000 and Historic Touring car guys to do the units and send them back. Only problem is injector 5 sometimes getting an air lock, just leave the engine running, pop the bonnet, pull the injector out and tap it a few times with a spanner, then stick it back in

That said the FJ20E is appealing as it will rev a bit more, probably be lighter and will sit back a bit more

Edit - Oh, and as to where the engine came from, as far as I know its just an extended version of the Triumph / Standard 4 cylinder (which was a Massey Ferguson tractor engine) but with a narrower bore? Could have been the same as the Vanguard six?

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
