  1. I have a silvertop 20V running a standard 20V ECU on a modified loom. Makes great hp, uses very little fuel. Get the right ECU for the engine.
  2. http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/57100-wtb-efi-pump/ Happy New Year guys, mine will be happier if someone can help me with the above...
  3. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_VQ_engine#VQ23DE 6 cylinder, (ok, its a v6) 2.3 litre, 127kW stock, being VQ series SHOULD bolt up to a 300zx tranmission
  4. Not sure about K series, but I cut T engine mounts off x member and welded them onto and A series x member. Was dead easy, even had one hole in common between the mounts, so you basically couldn't f@$k it up.
  5. Seem to remember a 7age 20V uses a standard 16V 4age timing belt, but I am getting old, LOL
  6. Did a little bit of digging, a couple of people in NZ have looked at 6A series mitsu engines and converting them to rwd applications. Would be rather difficult to do. http://www.oldschool.co.nz/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=23558&view=next
  7. a/ I made one just by bolting a 4age head straight onto a 7afe complete bottom end. Standard everything. Ran fine, drove like a 4age with a bit more bottom end pull. Exhaust has to be modified to clear sump for fwd applications, cambelt is Porsche 944 item for 4age 16V heads. b/ Apparently the weakest part of the 7afe rods is the big end bolt attachment and this can be modified to accept stronger attachment (ARP stud and nuts?) Also standard Bigport 4ages start running out of puff before 7000 rpm, so unless you are planning to really flog it a lot, it MIGHT NOT be worth the expense of custom rods. (Just don't blame me if you build one and it craps itself, lol)
  8. Japanese V6? Mivec FTO 2 litre v6 is 147kW...
  9. TE71 shell only, 4age gone. Would be a waste to go to Sims...
  10. Thinking of offloading my ultra-rare, ultra-rusty TE71 shell. Will be rolling with TE72 shit underneath it. Can also be sold with a fwd bigport 4age that needs a rebuild but is complete with ecu loom etc. Have a TE72 shell and MIG welder (needs new gun) to throw in. Thinking $800 the lot, $400 minus engine. Any interest?
  11. Thanks mate, might give that a whirl.
  12. AE82 Twinky. Did a gearbox swap. Speedo made a bit of a racket on first drive. Now ODO works, but speedo sits permanently between 180 km/h and off the clock. Any ideas?
  13. Well there you go. The 20 valve swap IS a very common one. You would have a lot of help available if you do one. Maybe see if you can go for a ride in one before you make up your mind? 7afe turbo? There was a limited run, Australia only AE 111 (I think) Corolla Sportivo that ran a 7afe turbo setup from the factory, so it definitely can be done. I have heard that replacement parts for this model are hideously expensive, so don't expect to be able to walk into Toyota and just buy turbo bits. There are a couple of guys on here with these cars too. Do the research and either way you will be happier with the result. Peace, Mark
  14. No engine swap is easy. I suspect given the large amount of time and money that would be needed to do a 20 valve swap, you would be dissappointed with the result. I personally think a low boost turbo setup on your 7afe (maybe need to be rebuilt?) would be better bang for buck.
  15. Should be a 4AGE engine, not a 7AFE, never heard of a 7AFE swap into an MR2. Never heard of spinning the shifters around to suit MR2s can you be more specific about what you do exactly?
  16. There are 1 or 2, you know you posted this in engine conversions, right? There is a Tassie sub section, that might be a good place to start :blinks:
  17. OK, any fwd 4age will bolt in using your gearbox, but don't expect your gearbox to last long. Carby issues: they won't be cheap, it won't be legal and you have to modify the 4age ignition as its part of the EFI system. Loom could probably get away with using the 4afc loom with carbs. EFI is not that hard to do. The wiring is a pain in the arse, but the fuel system is not hard to set up - lift pump, surge tank, efi pump, existing metal fuel lines with EFI rubber hoses. I would probably weld the brace to the firewall, would be stronger than drilling and tapping the thin fire wall. I seem to remember Twincams had nuts welded in behind the firewall for the brace to bolt onto, but I might be wrong.
  18. Yeah 3TGTE exhaust manifold should fit With the intake, use the standard 3T carby intake manifold, bolt the adapter onto that, then the throttlebody EFI to the adapter. Where the other fabrication/plumbing comes in is getting the boosted air from the turbo to the throttle body. Most people straight and angle bend pipes (aluminium for light weight) and silicon joiners (for heat resistance) and hose clamps. I would use that intercooler too.
  19. Find an early efi (single point) throttle body and injectors off a larger car. Have an adapter plate made up and bolt the throttle body straight onto your standard intake manifold. Then EFI fuel feed setup, aftermarket ECU, exhaust and intake plumbing. I think an early Mitsubishi Starion EFI throttle body would be ideal.
  20. Lazarust bump, with much regret, my work has changed and I just don't have the time to spend on this anymore. For sale, see rollaclub and boostcruising.
  21. What was the final widths of the rims and tyre fitments?
  22. Nah, it's stuffed, studs worked loose. Just can't win. Looks like the only solution is new inconnel studs, machining of the mating surfaces, proper, factory-spec gasket and new conelocks. :jamie:
  23. Actually did a fair bit (time wise) on the old girl today. After visiting the mechanic and him complaining about the exhaust leak, LOL, I decided to bite the bullet, pull the exhaust manifold, turbo etc. and investigate the leak (between the exhaust manifold and turbo). Pulled it all apart and found that i had forgotten to put a gasket in there, DOH. Put it back together using all new conelock nuts where possible. Is heaps quieter and makes more boost everywhere now. Maybe if I keep fixing all the little things that are wrong with her, she mght actually be a semi-respectable bus one day, heaven forbid. Left to do: finish painting, oil leaks, oil consumption, roof lining, stereo and speakers, LSD.
