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.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.

      Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.

      You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever

      Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
