ae71wagoneer Posted November 3, 2014 Report Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) A mate has just bought a Rona RT132 18R 5sp for his first project car. Seeing as this site was so helpful with my wagon, I thought i would ask for some hints and tips on modding it. It's gonna be a daily so nothing too extreme, but a 3SGE would be nice eventually Any assistance would be much appreciated.. Edited November 4, 2014 by ae71wagoneer Quote
LittleRedSpirit Posted November 4, 2014 Report Posted November 4, 2014 You can do anything to the starfire you can do to a 186 or 202, its basically a holden 6 with 2 cylinders lopped off, so all tuning knowledge applies from those engines which have been worked a lot historically. You can bolt in an r engine from an rt132 but thats not too exciting. Youd be best with a beams, a commodoore v6, or an sr20 for ease of installation. If you want a gen 1/2/3 3sge its a lot more work to bring the fwd motors into rwd. Could also consider a hilux rz engine. Quote
TRD ke70 Posted November 8, 2014 Report Posted November 8, 2014 Rt132 should have been a 22R? Waste of time with the 18r, there were orignally design for a van, even with a twin cam head and all the money in the world, you'll really struggle to get 200hp out of it. Quote
LittleRedSpirit Posted November 8, 2014 Report Posted November 8, 2014 Oh my bad, yes its an 18rc car, needs more 18rg, disregard my first post. Brain fart. Quote
