RA28 engine conversions HELP!!!! Fri, 30 September 2005 08:12 Go to next message
Hey all,
Im new here and i got alot of questions that need answering. I'm looking at buying an RA28 celica and doin a turbo engine conversion into it, the only thing is I'm not sure what engine would be the best choice and I dont want anything to large in capacity, i think about a 2L turbocharged engine would be a good size. My first thought was a nissan SR20det as ive seen it done in a celica b4, or even a ca18det but than the amount of money that would have to go into putting a nissan engine into a toyota and would i need to buy i different gearbox. My friend is a mechanic and can get an engine conversion done cheaper for me but its not much use if i dont know what im putting into it. So if u guys have any idea of a toyota engine i could slap in there, say a 4agt, 1jz, 3sgte or whateva else ur thinking of and a general price. I know im gonna have a hard time finding a fastback ra28 aswell so i got alot of problems, for now i got about 10 grand but theres no point diving in and buying something u cant finance, i know im gonna need alot more cash but this is my dream guys and girls so any help would be great Very Happy
Cheers Beno

Beno,
You need to get yourself a cold beer or three and then curl up with the "SEARCH" function and type in your car and engine combination, one at a time. Then be prepared to read heaps about this subject.
Mitch.
