Engine conversion on TE72 (T-18) Sun, 15 February 2004 02:44 Go to next message
Ok i know ive asked about this before, but we just havnt got anywhere with it. Im after some suggestions to consider. We have considered 2TGE seeing as most things would bolt up. 3TGTE is out of the question at this point as were not after forced induction right now. Perhaps an 18RGE? We considered 4AGE but that would involve having to convert to rack and pinion steering which if we can help it would rather not do as this car is just a daily driver and were after a bit more power. Thanks people.

Just to confirm what ive been told, the 3T box and mounts will fit a 2TGE right? I hope so as it came from a reliable enough source.

If you're after a simple bolt-in swap, a 2T-G is the way to go. You can also build an 1800cc 3T/2T-G hybrid if you want to go to that trouble. An 18R-G will probably be a bit of a squeeze in your engine bay but it could be done. Why don't you want to do a R&P conversion? Apparently it's fairly simple to do using KE70 parts.

Thanks again norbie, always a good source of info. About the Rack and pinion, its not that i dont want to, just extra stuff id like to avoid, if it came to it, id do it no worries.

you have no options other than a 2tg or 2tg3t hybred as it sound like you dont want to spend alot of money. i wouldnt go 18rg as youll have to change all your mounts and if you do that i dont think youll get much more power if any over a 2tg3t.

why do you need to convert to R&P for a 4AG? You dont need to change the whole engine crossmember, I have a set of custom made 4AG - T18 engine mounts you could buy that would bolt it straight up to your current crossmember Shocked ...
