Hey, im looking for an 18r-G to replace the 18r-c in my current ra40. some of you may have seen my posts of my restoration, the Vermin ra40 celica. Well, yes i belive before its on the road i should put in an engine that can run on regular unleaded. And the 18r-g i belive can, plus its more powerful etc.
So please, if anyone has a front cut or bomb with an 18r-g in it. Im in W.A so be reasonable, some things are just impossible.
Im looking for an engine with all parts, alternator, starter motor's etc, so thats what im after
Thanks alot
Steve

Whats wrong with running the 18R-C on unleaded? It should run fine as well.

I've switched over to premium and could immediately notice the difference. I would suggest doing that for your 18r-c. I thought you where looking for a 1G?

I seem to remember a while back that you said that you were going to keep the standard engine 
I think that the 18-RC and 18RG should both run on the same fuel type as they were releced over the same period of time. I have heard many times that unleaded is fine in an 18rc though i never tryed it while i had my celica.

I've heard people say they have lessened performace as LRP has a higher RON level then ULP.

If you really want an 18rg there is one available from SON
IMPORTS ( I think thats thier name) in Wangara just near my place. I was there saturday. It is not in the best of condition but worth a look. You would have to negotiate a price as I think they want tooo much for it. Around 8 to 9 big ones. If you need to contact them I will look up their address and phone number for you. I have an 18rgu at home but unfortunately it is going in a ra28
