blackRA28 Forums Junkie Location: adelaide Registered: May 2002	Re: SR20t -> RA28, is it as easy as it looks? Mon, 23 February 2004 11:40 I am not certain about the emissions side of things, but if i were to get it engineered it wouldnt be a problem.. my mate got a microtech race computer engineered with his 13Bt->series2 conversion and it passed the emissions easy, just tuned a little leaner.. i believe in S.A. our laws are that you have to run a certain amount of stock emissions gear on the motor but the age of the car has a factor in how loud it can be, and how much emissions can be produced regardless of motor.. thats why guys here go nuts with datto 1600s that are '69 model because emissions laws are out the door ...! (as ive heard ) I have thought about the 1G a lot because a friend of mine has a GZ20 soarer with W58 and it goes well even with 5-6 ppl.. haha, so it would be a lot of fun but im not sure about if it would be harder to engineer.. i just like the feel of a 4 cyl personally myself in the celica, i want a supra or GT-R for my 6 cyl in life haha nah, i just dont want to have to squeeze the cooler and radiator in there and try and keep weight out of the front.. A 3T-GTE would be a good swap, and definately easier than the SR20, but how reliable is a 3T really going to be? or how easy is it to get parts to rebuild one to a fairly tuff mild street spec? what are peoples experiences with 3T-GTEs like? personally i have never been in a car powered by one! Is a W-58 a turbo gearbox from standard at all? i know they are said to be one of the toughest boxes around but how do they live up behind a mils 3T? Yeh my mate apparently saw an sr20 complete with 5 speed and no ECU for around $1500 only done 45,000ks, but this is just what gave me the idea.. hmm thanks for the advice norbie, ill have to look into the silvia gearbox thing.. i havent actually seen the sr20 bellhousing lined up against a W5* one before.. whts the difference in strength with the w50, w55, w57 and w58?? does the ra28 tunnel or gearbox mounts need any custom work to hold the w57/8 in position? id have to make custom geabox-to-engineblock mounts wouldnt i for whichever swap? anyway, enough ramble for tonite.. _______________ blackRA28 [Report message to a moderator]
