  1. does any one know the weight diference between a SR20 and RB20?

     

    and seeing as he has not told us the aim of what hes trying to get out of it and what he wants to use it for (that i can see)

    i don't seen why at this point it matter if the motor choise needs to be light and go around corners well!

     

    i agree with what he said, the 6 would looks cooler and sound better :P

     

    dan.

  2. PMP020 on this forum had an rb30det in a ke20 I believe! I'm sure if you search maybe on toymods you might find a build thread.

     

    Cheers Tom

     

     

    scott is his name, hes had a fuw straight 6 ke20s over the years. fire wall cutting is a must.

     

    whats ur use goin to be? eg; street car, burnouts, etc.

     

    i beleave in nsw somewere a fuw years ago there was a RB26det in a ke20, never rego'd and did runs from cops a fuw times for fun lol

  3. i was talking to a guy that used to race the te27's at bathurst and he says he has the only genuine one in the country. he knows it genuine because when the toyota team went to the te37 he bought the car. i'd say this is a mock-up.

     

    but if not and this is genuine, PICSORBAN!

     

    i know of some one with a genuine te27 so ^^^^that one can't be the only one.

  4. well i guess at the end of the day when it comes down to it cut in not legal, so its upto the owner to way up wether they will do it or not.

     

    to me the way i do it i can't see why it would cause any harm, apart from being to low, but that can be the same with proper made springs any way.

  5. i had 2'' on my worked 3tc when i first built it, went ok, but went a hell of alot better after i built my 2 1/4 zorst with one straight through muffler on it, didnt do any dyno testing but would never run under 2 1/4 again, and on my bro datto 1200 with a L18 2ltr it was the same deal but he went to 2 1/2 stainless that we made.

     

    the only thing is it alwasy getts lounder, on all my cars i run a straight through offset muffler and it always seems to work best for power.

     

    only real way to tell on your motor is to play around, but will still depend on headers, cam and motor spec's

  6. condition of -

    1, bumpers

    2, door handles

    3, rear pillar chrome trims things

    4, right hand rear veiw mirror

    5, dash pad

    6, door rubbers

    7, front parker light with indocators

    8, wipers arms.

     

    what price would you be after for each of these if you still have them.

  7. me and my bro have only ever ran cut springs, i can't see any reason why its bad if its done right, yes cut stock springs will bottom out easyer and may fall out if cut to far for the shocker.

     

    what we always do is cut stock spring with shorter shocks, to start with, then run a stock heavyer spring cut down out of another car with the cut coil of the spring flattend out to sit in the pearch like stock ones, then run shorter shocks to keep them captive, or make spring holders/tags at the bottom spring pearch like 4wd's use. the shhhocks always are better though.

     

    also not all aftermaket lowered springs are heavyer than stock, so really you run into the same problems as cutting stock springs. ive seen it lots of times.

     

    i would just cut them if your only droping a small bit, they should even still be captive.

     

    hope this helps

     

    cheers, dan

  8. pintara diffs are weak, only 25 spline, i would get a R31 diff and cut it down to sute, its the same deal really just r31 is wider and 28 pline axles. me and my bro do it, never had any problems, will hold up to some good power, and you can still run the pintara 4.11 - 1 diff gears if you like.

     

    i guess it really depends on the motor your goin to run?

  9. Most of the vac hoses you will not need, not sure what ones but will not need all off them,

    might only need 2, 1 for dizzy advance and 1 for map sensor if you go that way?

     

    you will need coolant temp sensor, then a map sensor or air flow meter, and then its depends on the ecu that you run to what others you will need/use.

     

    cheers,dan

  10. I would have thought diesel turbos would have to spool nice and quick, as they only have a limited rev range... Either way, thanks for everyone's imput...

     

    Stuff it, I'll get a supercharger... All this turbo spool, lag thing is a bit much for me. I like the 'if it turns this many times, it moves this much air' theory of a supercharger.

     

    That i can deal with. Thanks for entertaining the idea with me guys.

     

    i ran a diesel turbo off a 3lt landrover on my stock 3t, it ran 10psi most of the time and reved to 8000RPM

  11. i had a 4k with a 2inch with a muffler and a ressy. it made more power and rev'd better running it straight outta the extractors than throght the pipe, and know it wasnt blocked, but i was running a dato 200b carby on it. wich bolt straight up.

     

    as for the corner troubles, i would say its more a fuel issue. because if it was the zorst it would do the same in a straight line.

     

    start with cheacking your fuel fillter, then the operation of the accelerator jet making shore it is spraying fuel into the carby, then set/cheack you float levels

     

    also one of my bros mates has a datto 1200, it had a 2'' zorst on it, then went to 2 1/2 and it made so much more power, even got it dyno'd but i can't remeber what it made? and its was still a 1.2litre, but it did have cam, head and carby work
