Miggy Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Hey I'm new here and have had my licence for 6 months and i have just picked up my first car a 93 seca stock standard I went to the drags last Wed and did a 18.4 @120 kph with a crappy 0.7 reaction time.. I like the car and think its good fun to drive even if it isn't that fast. Anyway I don't have that much mechanical knowledge with these cars and I'm wondering what workshop around Perth can source and fit a 20v engine to my seca? Thanks alot in advance Miggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to find out what company's have done it before and who people recommend before going out and spending 2-5k on my car isnt that what forums are all about?

Hi well the guys a cypher will do a good job......however if I may I would like to offer some advice. I have owned three 20valve conversion which I did myself and a GZE or two allong the way as well also done myself. from a modification perspective yes the GZE will yield more mid range and top end power a little easier than a 20v BUT in terms of a user friendly engine the 20v has it all over the GZE. I seriously urge you to consider a black top 20v over the GZE. my two cents but Ive converted at least ten and would say that of the ones I did for other people the 20v retained ownership the longest. food for thought. if you would like pm me a number and i will call ..... old corolla bloke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damo101 Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 hello all..i am looking at doing the 20v conversion in my ae82 twincam..i can do all the mechanical side of things myself but what i don't understand is the wiring..i have heard that you just splice the 20v loom into the 16v fuse box in the engine bay.if someone could shed a bit more info thatd be really good. cheers damo.

Miggy Posted May 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 i might take up your offer some time soon old corolla bloke as the engine didnt go through as i started my apprentaship much sooner then was planed so now the only time i can have the car off the road is on weekends and thats to tight for workshops to do :yes: .. Around how long can this conversion take just so it running and driveable? bring on the 20v :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
