Hey all !

I have been looking at this conversion and remember seeing somewhere that there are heaps of these conversions in Thailand and Malaysia n stuff. But I cant find any tech info !  :P

Can someone link me up or provide some info ?

Thanks all.

I have a cef with the conversion in Thailand. It's an auto and can really move. It's is also tail happy. Slides at the light, out of parking lots, doing u-turns... fun to drive. I've been told it's one of the cleanest conversion my friends have seen there. They have this engine in everything, Benzs, BMWs, Volvlos, 180sx, Everything.

But it is front heavy, which might be why it's so tail happy. I never floored it before too. The crossmember is drilled to hold the engine mounts. To my understanding the tranny is Toyota, and the drive shaft is weilded to the cut ceffy drive shaft. I can't confirm this becuse I'm currently in the States and have never had the car on a lift yet. Northern Thailand doesn't have to many large autoshop. Roads aren't that good either. The cat converter hits everything out there. Atleast I hope it the cat and not the oil pan. I even took out the cut springs it came with and put stock height springs, and it still hits once and a while. In additon there is a lump on the passenger side floor next to the gear shift. Don't if that is mod from the installer to have the exhuast still exit out the left. Dunno.

With all the possiblities of the 1JZ, it sit too low for me, and the idea of the weilded drive shaft doesn't sound like a good idea if I wanted to build up the motor. But if you are looking to drag with it, it might be alright. Most of the drag ceffys in Thailand are running the 1JZ or 2JZs.

As for me I was thinking of getting the an SR20, RB25, or RB26 swap instead. Been waiting to post about it. So what engine do you guys perfer for a drift setup? SR for lighter car, but was leaning toward the RB25 for more power. What do you think?

PS keep the good info coming on the forum. It's so hard to find info on the Cefiro, and my Thai is crap. This the only place I can read. :( Thanks.

you have a 1jz but considering an RB25 for more power?

i guess you just need to do some research mate, the 1jz is regarded as one of the best straight 6's on the market, can make an easy 300 rwkw + with stock bottom end, possibly more with good tuning!

Yeah I've seen the giant T88 turbos in Thailand, and know of the potential of 1JZs. But I was actually thinking of having the car setup for going sideways rather than straight. :P

grass is always greener on the other side... RB engines are harder to get and more expensive to buy/mod than 1JZ's over there, wheras here its the other way around.

SR20 definitely for weight reduction.

      Are you an oil nerd?

      I think the concept is highlighting the various scenarios where thicker oil helps, and thicker oil potentially doesn't help and only generates heat and costs power, in turn for safety which isn't actually any safer (unless you're going real hot). If anything this does highlight why throwing Castrol 10w-60 for your track days is always a solid, safe bet.

      Jason should have shown a real viscosity vs temp chart. All the grades have very little viscosity difference at full operating temperature.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Yep, if you are applying filler it sounds like there is something wrong with the body lol. Safe to assume there is going to be a lot of sanding going on if your still applying fillers.  Picture a perfect bare metal panel, smooth as glass. You lay down your primer, it's perfect. (why are you going to sand it?) You lay down the colour and clear, it's perfect. No sanding at all took place and you've got a perfectly finished panel.  You won't be chasing your tail, sounds like you were prepping to start laying filler. If your happy with the body after the sanding, there is some bare metal exposed and some areas with primer, no issues at all, start laying the filler. You are safe to lay filler on bare metal or primer (of course check your technical data sheet as usual for what your filler is happy to adhere to).  This isn't a 100% correct statement. There is primer that is happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. There are fillers that are happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. Just make sure you're using the right materials for the job.  Typically if you are using filler, you would go primer, colour and clear. I've never seen any instances before where someone has laid colour over body filler (maybe this happens, but I haven't seen it before). So your plan sounds pretty normal to me.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I don't think there's any way someone is push starting this car.. I honestly can barely move it, and moving it and steering it is just flat out not possible. I'm sure it is, but needs a bigger man than me. I have a refurbished starter now. The starter man was quite clear and consise showing me how nothing inside a starter really should contribute to slow cranking, and turned out that for the most part... my starter was entirely fine. Still, some of the wear items were replaced and luckily it didn't show any signs of getting too hot, being unfit for use, etc. Which is 'good'. I also noticed the starter definitely sounded different, which is a bit odd considering nothing should have really changed there.... Removed and refit, and we'll pretend one of the manifold bolts didn't fully tighten up and is only "pretty" tight. GM only wants 18ft/lb anyway. I also found a way to properly get my analog wideband reading very slightly leaner than the serial wideband. There's Greg related reasons for this. The serial output is the absolute source of truth, but it is a total asshole to actually stay connected and needs a laptop. The analog input does not, and works with standalone datalogging. Previously the analog input read slightly richer, but if I am aiming at 12.7 I do not want one of the widebands to be saying 12.7 when the source of truth is 13.0. Now the source of truth will be 12.65 and the Analog Wideband will read 12.7. So when I tune to 12.7 it'll be ever so slightly safer. While messing with all of this and idling extensively I can confirm my car seems to restart better while hot now. I did add an old Skyline battery cable between the head and the body though, though now I really realise I should have chosen the frame. Maybe that's a future job. The internet would have you believe that this is caused by bad grounds. In finding out where my grounds actually were I found out the engine bay battery post actually goes to the engine, as well as a seperate one (from the post) to the body of the car. So now there's a third one making the Grounding Triangle which is now a thing. I also from extensive idling have this graph. Temperature (°C) Voltage (V) 85 1.59 80 1.74 75 1.94 70 2.1 65 2.33 60 2.56 55 2.78 50 2.98 45 3.23 40 3.51 35 3.75 30 4.00   Plotted it looks like this. Which is actually... pretty linear? I have not actually put the formula into HPTuners. I will have to re-engage brain and/or re-engage the people who wanted more data to magically do it for me. Tune should be good for the 30th!
