1G-GTE is the best bang for your buck. The specifics have been discussed in detail on this forum, so use the search facility and you'll find more info than you can poke a stick at.

Agree with Norbie here.
If you want the least hassle with rego and the least bang for buck, fit an 18RG. Otherwise go for 1G-GE, GTE, GZE or 1JZ-GE or GTE.
Cheers,
Mitch.

JZ engines may be a tad too heavy for a ra28...would really stuff up the weight distribution

1JZ is only 20kg more than a 1G-GTE
move the 10kg battery to the boot and your half way there...

Actually you're probably most of the way there. You're removing 10kg from the front and placing 10kg at the back, its the same effect on the distribution as removing 20kg from the front.

Or you could put a 1G in there and then move the battery to the back.
I always hear that a 1JZ can be just as good as a 1G if you stick it in (more effort), then make even more effort getting the balance right.
The thing they neglect to mention is that if you can do something to a car with a 1JZ, then you can do it to one with a 1G.
