Mon, 09 June 2003 22:33 look guys belive it or not i actually agree the 1g is an easier conversion . i think ive already posted that . as far as the 1j is concerned one thing a few of you guys seem to have overlooked is how to mount the engine . the original mounts are cut off the crossmemember seam welded with flat plates .and the factory 1j mount bolts dierctly through the crossmember i ABSOLUTLEY fail to see how when the 1j weighs the same as the original engine ANY hassles .In fact the original car had air conditioning and the two engines where weighed without compressors . the weight forward of the wheels was REDUCED Nark perhaps re -read what i said .an alloy radiator was used its 2kg lighter (full) than the original one . Quote: Sorry, but I find it hard to believe that removing 11kgs from the extreme front of the car would not affect handling. Nothing personal, but it's one of those things that have to be seen to be believed due to the fact that a couple of laws of physics would have to be broken. so your fully aware of the front rear split and the total weight of the vehicle( on a weighbridge) and and the vehicles exact point of centre . perhaps you can quote these because without this is almost impossible to determine HOW handling would be effected . i dont even want to start this one but its quite possible to make the handling of a vehicle worse by removing too much weight from the front of the vehicle It just seems to me that people have to justify their decsision for fitting the engine they already have by bagging another you like your geat ive never bagged it two vehicles have now PROVEN through actual trial and error that handling is not effected .bloody hell the handling of a TA23 was un effected when the 1j was fitted and yes i was talking about the bullet ...probably a bad example considering the amount of fabrication .but the reson it works is obviously correct geometry anyway lets agree to disagree . people you have two options 1. Believe nark ..hes never actually done this conversion but is good with looking at engines and determinng from that the result 2. Believe me ive put 3 1js into light vehicles with the handling uncomprimised .and took the advice of an engineerthat is famous for chassis design of off raod racing buggys ( Barry Johnson)when positioning the engine .Then used Barry's digital four wheels scales to set the car up i have contacted the owner he is going to post asap .the car is used for club racing in melbourne [Report message to a moderator]
