The 18R-G/-GU is getting hard to come by nowdays, consequently the prices are going up. I did an 18R-G conversion about 5 years ago. I did all the work myself, except for the exhaust and it still cost me about $1500. I think the engine alone will cost you that much. For the G head, the exhaust and throttle linkeages are different, so there is some cost there. If you want an efi version, there is fuel mods and electrical work to do. After all this work, you end up with about an extra 50hp. OR Go for the 1G. I would advise a brake upgrade anyway as the standard ones are crap. And what else over an 18R-GU, well modify a gearbox crossmember and sump and thats about it. The 1G-GTE will triple the power of a tired 18r in standard trim. Having owned both, I think I can say that I wouldn't stuff around with an 18R-GU. Lots of work for moderate gains. Either go for a cerby 18R-G or if you are happy to put in the extra work, go for a 1G-GTE. You won't regret it. [Report message to a moderator]
