blackRA28 Forums Junkie Location: adelaide Registered: May 2002	SR20t -> RA28, is it as easy as it looks? Sat, 21 February 2004 02:06 Howdy all, after a string of problems/worries with the 18R-GEU since it was installed i am now thinking along the lines of another engine swap down the track when i want turbo power, instead of turboing the 18RGeu.. because for my budget an all-out 18R turbo build-up would be way out of my budget and i want it to be fairly reliable. Just looking for opinions on this conversion: Considering SR20t and 3S-Gte, but the SR seems a simpler package to setup because it is already in RWD trim and has a turbo gearbox to match. Both engines will need a lot of custom work to setup in the RA28, ie electrics, but i think the 3S is a similar engine and the extra messing around converting FWD->RWD will not be that beneficial. I want to stick to 4-cyl, because my car already is nose-heavy with an 18R lump of iron. SR20's are around $1500 with gbox, which is okay considering i spent easily this much on my 18R-GEU fiddling around getting new parts and extras... Fuel system would not be a big issue because i already have a prepump, bigger lines, surge tank and would just swap to VL-turbo type pump. I think the exhaust side on SR20 is the same as 18R? meaning exhaust will be easy.. diff and driveline is okay, custom shaft with either hilux diff or corona F series.. corona/pug front disc upgrade.. Just need to work out what other issues there would be with setting up the SR20 in an RA2x? we would use an aftermarket computer.. Has anyone done this conversion or something similar? what problems/issues did you encounter? can anyone who is familiar with toyotas and/or SR20's be able to suggest anything that could pose a problem or significant worry? I'd rather stay with toyota so if this is too much trouble i will rebuild the 18RGEU standard, and find another car for my turbo project. I am also considering SR20->TA22, just because the older the car means less emissions restrictions.. but i already have an ra28 with suspension & steering done, and an EFI fuel system. Any advice or comments are welcome and appreciated.. thats what this thread is for! Thanks again, ________________ BlackRA28 [Report message to a moderator]
