2Rz Into Rt118

[madKE35coupe]

Hey guys just wondering if a 2rz could be legally fitted to my rt118 wagon? And also is there a website or forum that explains any of this? Cheers Brendan

Yellow pages, look for an engineer that can do cars, call him up and talk to him or maybe her?

 

There was some hotrod place in brisbane I think it was that mod plated a mates roll cage when know one else would for some reason? Ill try to see where he was, he comes to you as well I think.

this guy is really helpful. Chatted to him a few times.

[madKE35coupe]

cool will have to give him a ring and see what we can sort out. i can get 2 2rz's for about 100 bucks just need to build one good one from the two :wink:

[madKE35coupe]

so according to the guy i rang, any car under 1100kg you multiply the weight by 2.5 and thats the engine capacity you can legally run? if the car is over 1100 you can multiply the weight by 4 and thats the capacity you can legally run, does that sound right?

Brendan, have you thought of doing the Mod plate course and become and engineer yourself?

 

You would be in a handy location, somewhat.... haha

[madKE35coupe]

handy location? can't really see living out in the stix being handy :wink: what you smoking carlos?

[BUZ440]

You would be surprised of some of the cars that are hiding around your area

Are the 2RZs imports or from a Hiace? The single-cam 2RZE in the Hiace is hardly inspiring and in my mind a pretty tame conversion, you'd be better off looking at a 3RZFE if it manages to scrape in under the capacity limit

[madKE35coupe]

i think it might just get under the limit. the only reason i was going to use the 2rz's was because they were basically free, the 3rz's are worth a bit more coin. a 2rz would make a substantial difference compared to an old 18r-c though

Not really, 2RZEs are only rated at about 88kw, only about 15kw more than an 18RC and barely more than a 22RE...

[ke70dave]

if we're being honest....there are many many engines out there that would be just as much work to put in, and 10x better when you are done.

 

like always, just because an engine is free, that doesnt make it a worthy recipient of an engine conversion.

 

22RE would be a bolt in job in the corona yeah? with the right bits? chuck on some extractors, and a decent intake while you are there and you would have a reasonable engine for very little.

[madKE35coupe]

hmm well sounds like i might need to do some more research

[SLW42]

ʞ©$ɟ it I reckon bolt it in hang a 3076r off it and go have some fun till the yellow sticker it and tell you to go back home with it, then you can look at something else

[madKE35coupe]

she's all sweet justin, matts gona help me out with the build :) i will be doing a carby setup by the looks of it
