Sam_Q Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 you ok with a nissan engine in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidewinder Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 how about a 3sgte instead? they are plentiful amongst the importers and arent too hard to get parts for as they share the basic platfom with the camry/celica motors of the early nineties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam_Q Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 not a real easy conversion though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam_Q Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 I can't don't like it myself but a ca18det engine with the stock ecu will probably be the best bang for buck. If your keen a 5S/3S engine converted to turbo spec would be a ball tearer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidewinder Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 being 17, are you affected by some states anti-fun/hooning laws? if so, you will have to stick with the K motor for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwarf Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 yeah don't mind that law i'm doin the car up and it'll be in my dad's name but i am still gunna turb it It doesn't matter who owns the car. If you can't drive it, you can't drive it. If your in Qld and don't have it engineered, it's go to court time for him, and loss of license for you.

Sturgey Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 well for the ta22's the most common conversions are 2t-g, 3t-gteu, 3tg hybrid or a 4age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam_Q Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 well depending on which gearbox it has in there a 4age will easy go in, probably a nice cheap option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
