Any L4 nissan motor with a OS TC-16 head.

Lz20b turbo, as seen in group 5 dr30, s12 and 910 bluebird.

FJ20. abit heavy though.

Ford pinto with a connaught 'warrior' head as seen below.

270hp with 50mm webers

Sweet engines - but rare as rocking horse poo.

I had no idea the FJ engine was much heavier than an 4 cyl L series - Interesting to know

Of course if it's sound we're talking about, then this

1.5L V16 supercharged

Yes, I've posted it before. No other engine sound can make the hairs on my neck stand up like that. The ferraris cruising around Runaway bay baseball fields today while the kids games were on (mmmm - scary :D ) did sound pretty good tho, but I digress.

I woulda posted the BRM but its 1.5L not 2L

It sounded nice yes...but always broke...infact I think BRM only finished 2 or 3 races in the 2 years that they used that motor

basically sums up what the brm was doing 99% of the time

breaking.

it's the godfather of all 4cyl engines.

it's like the common ancestor of all jap and brit 4 bangers.

it survived 3 wars, 2 invasions, 16 military coups, 3 recessions, 1 depression, 1 dot-com bubble and is probably still cooler than you ever will be.

    • Could someone post some pictures of the factory Jack , tools, spare tire and how they were in a 1998 ER34 2 door skyline originally?
    • UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!  
    • I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end
    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
    • Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?
