icon7.gif  Finaly:Which engine to get? AE86 sr20det v 13b(non turbo) Wed, 19 May 2004 23:50 Go to next message
I now that this has been asked a thousand times before, but i need your personal opinion,i finally have the cash,the sr20det was what i was intending to install, im very conserned about the ae86 car balance, i dont want the front to be too heavy from the back or ill would go for a 1jz or something similar, i dont want too much power, just a good drift car thats daily driven.The 4agze is good, but i want a bit more. My question is what about the 13b, hows that engine like?

13B is effectively a 2.3L motor.
SR20DET is a 2L turbo.. what 'effective capacity it is depends on boost..

nissan and mazda motors are kinda outside the toymods thing really...

how's it like? it's a rotary. ask on www.ausrotary about what the motor is like... i'm sure it would make a great drift pig.
hi ho hi ho, a searchin we will go Wink

just off the top of my head an personal opinion. I'd think the gze would be good enough for drifting. If you really want more, go for the sr20det.

These engines will make it easier to drift than the na 13b i think

My opinion is that the SR20DET would have more torque, more power, and use less fuel than the 13B.
I've seen a bridge port 13B make 111kW on the dyno.
An SR20DET with 14psi and a FMIC will make about 130kW (100kW stock) and absolute bucketloads more torque than a 13B.

AFAIK the sr20 is an alloy block, the ca18 is the cast iron one.

I would say 4agte or 3sgte also.

a boosted ze would be perfect for drifting...torque mmmm *insert drool*

you dont need big hp to drift...why shell out big bucks (read: custom) for something that, admitidly would drift nicely, but would certainly not be a good daily driver

buy an s13 if drift/daily drivability is what you want

imo n/a or s/c is much better for drift than turbo...easier to keep it in the power band

that said..end of the day its up to you...personally if i were you i'd research into how much it'd cost for these different conversions...imo either 4ag(t,z)e or 3sg(t)e...even the 3s is a big $$$ job. Cant go wrong with the 4a series

the best way to go about it is to search for yourself & learn...no ones going to give you the info on a plate...just their opinion and thats not going to do much good for you when you have nfi to start with

best of luck

4agze vs sr20det.

sr20det is a minor upgrade (my opinion) and why go to all the trouble of custom mounts etc. You said you have the money. So get yourself a custom manifold and get an s14 or s15 turbo and youll have a 4agte or be crazy and spend more and go 4agzte.

but put simply 4agte vs an sr20det is a fairly evan battle and there is almost no point. You could be looking at 150kw on the 4agte (depening on how much u spend) and go to the trouble of an engine swap and end up getting around the same power.

The only reason to go sr20det would be if you wanted to start looking at 260+rwkw. (but then your looking at more money again so you'd have to swap the engine, then start the mod process again)

So you asked my opinion and there it is. Go with a T at the end of your 4agze (if your that hellbent on more power) or if you really want an engine swap with more power go a gen3 3sgte (but again you'd need to modd it).

SR20DET is overpriced for what you get and especially afer you squeeze it in. if you want an easy RWD turbo setup you cant go past a CA18DET its smaller and lighter than an SR20DET and cheaper (even tho it is cast iron Vs Alloy the SR is much bigger still and wieghs in around 20-30 Kg more)

but for simplicity and gene selection go a 4AGZE it has all the guts you need and then some. just look at the D1 japan comp, 4AGE powered sprinters arent frowned upon but actually revered as the true drivers cars think about it you dont need ultimate power just good setup

I know someone who's considering a turbo 3RZ-FE for motorkhana duties in an RA60.

Prolly a bit heavy for an AE86 though.

Check this little speil out:
Quote:

Toyota's new 4WD LandCruiser Prado RV has the most advanced four-cylinder
commercial vehicle engine in Australia. It has twin contra-rotating
balance shafts for exceptional smoothness in a large-capacity in-line four
design.

The new Prado four-cylinder 2.7-litre engine has more power and torque
than the major competitor's 3.0-litre V6. It has more power and the same
torque as superseded Toyota 4Runner V6.

The new 2694cm3 Toyota 3RZ-FE engine delivers 112kW (ECE) of power at
4800rpm and 240Nm (ECE) of torque at 4000rpm. It has more than 200Nm of
torque from 1250rpm to 5200rpm.

The new Prado four has 49 percent more power and 30 percent more torque
than the single overhead camshaft eight-valve 2367cm3 22R engine in the
superseded entry level 4Runner. Technical features in Prado's new EFI and
twin balance shaft-equipped Twin Cam Multi-valve engine are equal to - or
better than - many ontemporary passenger vehicle engines.

Designed For Low NVH


Toyota designed Prado's new four-cylinder engine for a combination of high
performance, fuel efficiency and reliability, coupled with low emissions
and low NVH. The bottom-end of the new 3RZ-FE engine borrows many strength
and durability features from race-engine technology. It has a deep-skirt
cast-iron cylinder block and fully balanced eight-counterweight crankshaft
for low NVH. The crankshaft has hardened pins and journals, and rolled
fillets, for increased durability.

The connecting rods are forged from a special carbon steel, chosen for its
ability to withstand high operating speeds and pressures while meeting
targets for low reciprocating weight. The conrods are double shot-peened
for increased strength and durability.

The Toyota 3RZ-FE engine has alloy pistons with resin-coated skirts to
reduce friction. There is an oil-jet in each big-end bearing to cool the
under-side of the pistons.

The 3RZ-FE engine also offers plastic region tightening bolts for the
cylinder head, conrods and crankshaft main bearings. Plastic region
tightening provides optimum clamping force for a given weight of bolt.

For package efficiency and high durability, the 3RZ-FE has a low-wear
camshaft timing chain rather than a belt. An oil jet on the hydraulic
chain tensioner lubricates the chain, and the timing chain drives the
inlet camshaft.

Drive to the exhaust camshaft is by "scissor" gear drive from the inlet
camshaft for optimum package efficiency and low noise. Chain drive is also
employed to drive the twin contra-rotating balance shafts. Balance shaft
number two is driven directly by the chain in the same direction as the
crankshaft, while an idler gear is used to drive balance shaft number one
in the opposite direction. In addition to the balance shafts, the Prado
four-cylinder engine has a torsional damper pulley to reduce NVH.

Performance and Economy

Prado's new four-cylinder engine combines high performance with high fuel
efficiency and low emissions. It has square (95mm by 95mm) bore and stroke
dimensions, for a balance of power and low-to-mid-range torque.

Multi-valve cylinder head technology has been adopted for better breathing
and maximum fuel efficiency. The new Prado 3RZ-FE engine has four valves
per cylinder arranged in a compact pentroof combustion chamber with a
19-degree included valve angle.



Copied from here:
http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/toy_90_i.htm

As for the AE86. Stick with a 4A-GTE or 3S-GTE.

a 13b-t would be illegal
a 13b n/a would (most likely) not be.

You know, I used to absolutely hate pp rotors back in the day.

But now, when I hear them I go nuts... It's just so rare these days to hear something try to idle at 2,000rpm... hehe

Well, after going in a 13b pp rx2 I would choose an sr20det over one of them for drifting as they need a lot of revs and their powerband is pretty high up in the rev range. It was fast though! But i don't think it would be the best choice for a drift car as the na rotaries don't make much torque but they do make good power as they rev very high.

4agte VS sr20det, I have NFI Smile

<off topic>
guy across the road had a PP 13b in a rx-3
could hear him in the next suburb, as it had no cat and a straight through muffler. They sound very funny at idle, and very scary as they wind out the tacho (he sold it 2 days before the epa came around to his house to test it after multiple noise complaints)
</off topic>

I still say a gze with a nevo pulley would give you exactly what you want in a drift pig

Please ppl stop...putting down the SR20 as an disadvantage in term of $$$ or harder to do..or it made by NISSAN. Do the conversion then talk.

anyway here is my opinion on this topics..
setting up a proper 4agte might cost more than doing the SR20 conversion..

eg you basically need 2 engine
1. head of a 4age BIG port (88kw)
2. bottom block of 4agze (the version with oil squirter)
then there are thing that follow
3. custom manifold (not exactly cheap)
4. turbo (depend if you buying used or new)
5. aftermarket ECU

you still have to custom mount...
stronger diff/stronger gear box...etc (all the usual conversion)

as for the sr20...easy to get part/power out of it (yes yes...ppl in here will go BUT sprinter isn't about power...)

Currently finishing up on the conversion (sr20)
blacktop sr20 from 180sx 96 model
Power FC
z32 airflow meter
R32 GTR caliper front and back
holden VN SS diff with LSD running 3.9
HKS Turbo GT2540

SR20 is fine if you don't mind an engine with rockers. Smile

If you want a modern engine though, go the 3S-GTE.

Initially i wanted to put in a 3S into the ae86
i ordered the 3S in RWD (from altezza) half cut set me back about 6K yes very expensive..and rare

how during the transport they drop it..and broke oil sump and other bit so i didn't want to get it.

about to do the 3sgte or even 3sge..however these are FWD and 4WD
too much hassle...with manifold/distributor/mount...etc and also gearbox

anyway i decide on sr20..since i got buddy who can get part for me cheap...

but i think ca18det will be much easier to fit..and cheaper overall. It belt driven not chain..more gentle

im with ae864eva here dont bother with the SR20DET as the CA18DET is cheaper smaller and lighter with very similar power potential to the SR
all in all its the cheapest turbo engine you can easily fit into the car that has good power potential and good parts backup. period.
ps. dont flame me for backing nissan here i speak the truth toyota isnt the be all and end all of motoring

also the 13BT import motors are getting quite old now so unless you get a really really nice one you would probably want to factor a rebuild into your budget...

PFFFFT! 4agte costing more than an sr20? Rolling Eyes

4agte:diff and g/box will hold up fine unless you start putting more than (roughly) 160hp atw
sr20: same deal with diff...g/box obviously needs to be changed

aftermarket ecu? not at all...4agze ecu is fine and will allow up to 12 psi without hassles

i'm in the middle of a 4agte conversion...you reckon you'd get an sr in for around 4k? (inc ic, piping, motor, manifold, turbo + labour)

dude people arent knocking the sr for the reasons you mentioned above. Bubbles has asked for advice and been given what best suits his application...as you said you dont need big hp in a sprinter. The sr20 is in the same category as the 3sge when it comes to time & customisation involved....all thats being said is that the 4agte is the cheapest & easiest way to get some hp (barring the 4agze)

Hi Improvedae86...yeah long time haven't log on
still working on the conversion..not long to go...i really can't wait for it to finish..

Hey Improvedae86..i actually don't have an icq account.

anyway back to the thread...

Actually what if i want to get more than 160hp
then gearbox/diff...front brake/rear brake need to upgrade
then ECU...
then if you want LSD..then more $$$$$$

In matter FACT i can. But i don't want this to turn out to be battle between nissan motor/Toyota engine.....which one is cheaper...

Basically it boil down to "IT YOUR OWN DAM CAR"..put whatever engine you want.....

P.S the sr20det backtop + gearbox+ECU+ GTR caliper only cost me $2100..
P.S Yes the 13b engine will shit over the piston engine..also weight less
P.S Yes the CA18DET will be cheaper than the SR20

ae864eva you think a 4agte will cost more than an sr20 but a ca18 will be cheaper than both? Rolling Eyes

dont get me wrong here..this has nothing to do with toyota vs nissan...i'm fairly open minded when it comes to the two

basically your last post was useless....brake upgrade & lsd would cost the same for either gte or sr conversion. You are right when you point out that at the end of the day its bubbles car and its his decision...but he's asking us for advice..hence the need for him to be informed on relative costs

yeah you could do sr for 4k maybe...if you did it all yourself...theres no way a shop will get you a motor, turbo, ic, pipes, exhaust, manifold, mounts and other misc + labour costs (& any custom fabrication(ie:xmember & tailshaft in my case)) for 4k

160hp atw is a shitload of power for a sprinter...enough to easily be able to drift...and of course you'd need to do the diff & g/box if you wanted more...theres only so much the t50/s series can take

the purpose of my last post was to inform bubbles of one of the options that existed for him....retaining the factory computer (gze) is a good way to save yourself $1500...but i guess it all depends on how much money you've got to play with from the start...all im saying is that the gte is a cheap way to get a decent amount of hp and for the most part its easier & cheaper than doing an sr20 conversion...think of it as installing a 4age (read: piss easy)

(read: im not knocking the sr20 or nissan)

Hey Improvedae86....yeah i will add you on my msn when i log on we can chat....yeah i notice quite a few ppl heading toward the sr20 conversion....

NICKAE86
seriously i have sat down and figure the 4agte option and the sr20..in the end the sr20 was cheaper for me.

yes you may not think so..if i was to go the 4agte option
i would need 2 engine, NEW TURBO, custom manifold, custom FMIC...
2 engine set me back $900 assuming i can get each for $450
custom manifold about $900..so far it would be $1800

when the sr20 and wiring and brake caliper only cost me $2100

ANYWAY i will stop commenting regarding this issue.

you basically have about 2 cm to the firewall (yes not much room there)

the standard gearbox will set your gear stick about 6inch from the standard gear stick....need to drill your car Very Happy
