G'day, sorry but i am in need of some technical expertise.
i am seriously thinking of doing the conversion soon, 18R-c to 18R-geu, because im sick of seeing a mates celica blitz and mine go shit slow in comparison. Thats usually what starts it..
I am just curious, i know the rg is almost identical to the rc, in terms of the block and running gear they use, and the main differences are the yamaha head, and higher compression pistons etc. But what would i need to fit an EFI 18RGeu into my fairly stock RA28?
*It will sit on the same mounts... so thats ok.
*It will bolt up to the same w50... so thats ok.
*The radiator will fit because its identical... so thats ok.
*I have a stock fuel pump and rails for the single-cam carby. This is inadequate for an efi engine, so what setup will i need from the tank to the injectors?? Can i just have one pump from the boot or in the bay?? it will run completely stock so theres no need for huge pumps. But it needs morelike 60psi than 4.
*It has a computer whereas the rc had screws on the carby. haha.
it is all complete but are there any known difficulties in setting up the computer with efi and with fuel ???
What i am really after is a definitive guide to RGeu swaps into RA carby celica's  I know it is considered a really simple conversion but efi is always a bit of a hassle, so has anyone done this swap in the past or recently and feel like running through what they had to do? also any tips on setting up the computer/fuel/dizzy would be a huge help.
How come they have a dizzy if the computer controls the ignition and timing? what is the point of pointless dizzy? no pun intended, i bet its been said many many times.
I was hoping there would be a tech article on the conversion because it has to be more common than a 1G series swap??? but ive searched the forum and nothing came up. Anywho thanks anyone and to all who can give some input. One last thing does anyone know the weight of a complete 18R-geu? this is important to me so i can ship the engine to Adelaide!!!
Cheers heaps, again and again
Guy
