Wed, 29 January 2003 11:47 OK mate, same predicament as you.. picked up a stock 28 18rc, put extractors on cos engine ran good been thinking of the best and most cost effective upgrade for a yr or so and finally gone for the 18R-geu. its a straight swap so no engine mount or g/box alterations. Heres what ive spent so far on jsut a few essentials that i can think of. (still need a few little bits and pieces and heaps a other work) 18Rgeu (stock with most running gear + standard ECU and uncut loom + and bosch(?) 008 Hi pressure pump) - $500 + shiping to SA from NSW Pacemaker extractors new - $245 Extreme h/duty clutch kit new - $250 mate has got me a 22-RE air flow metre - probly give him $50? ASE Surge tank 1.45l stainless - $180 Still need: lift pump(~$100 second hand, $150 new) Recore or triple core radiator and hoses (~$150) and then theres jsut the general other stuff you need to fit and run the engine, like fuel lines new battery fresh plugs leads etc air pod umm what else heaps more but thats the basics i think?? But yeh efi is the way to go if you want to go to the trouble, the benefits and drawbacks have been gone over many times on this forum i think.. Its got a fairly low compression too, so adding/rebuilding for boost is going to be a pleasure down the track i hope. Yeh go 18RG if you can find one thats alrite, and you want a simple cheap swapover, but if you have serious $$ think about the benefits of going 1G or even 3S or 3T Peace _______________ BlackRA28 [Report message to a moderator]
