TA-23 Where to start Tue, 17 December 2002 05:11 Go to next message
Hey everyone I'm pretty new to this and am after some help. I'm looking at doing a conversion to my TA-23 as the 18-r is lacking speed. I live in SA and i am trying to find a place that does conversions to a budget. Im thinking along the lines of 4agze, or maybe a supra motor. I have about a 5 to 6k budget and am hoping to get one of these motors in. IF anyone can point me i the right direction to some contacts who do conversions cheaply it would be muchly appreciated. Thanks guys and I hope one of you guys can help me.

Matt (TA-23)

Or if Supercharging is more your thing the 1GGZE is also a relatively simple conversion.

The 4AGZE is a good engine but is only 1600cc
The 1GGZE is its 2000cc Big brother ! Wink

Does anyone know the weights of these engines? (1GGE, 1GGZE, 1GGTE, 18rc and 2T...) I guess I am asking what is the realtive weight difference between a 18rc and a 1GGE (or with induction).

And also what sort of performance 0-100 or 1/4mile would you expect from a xA23 with a 1G of some description. As the car is light I would ecpect it to be quick off the mark!

Those of you who have done this please speak now!
Thanks

I think I will make a new thread....

Silversup,

Mate the Toymods 1/4 mile record for over 1800cc Forced induction is held by a 1GGZE RA23 at around 14 flat from memory (Still waiting on the timeslip to get it up on the records page)

That was stret trim and street tyres. I recon there is also a good improvement to be made in driver technique on that run too ! (Too much wheelspin ! )
