is the F22C a honda prelude engine i have seen a AE86 with a s200 engine woukld have cost abit i think an sr20 or 4AGE is happening im also looking at a VQ20ET or VQ30DET what about these nissan engines i really didnt wanna use a V6 though as balance would be stuffed.

I had a 13b bridgeport with a modified niki (factory 12a) carb and it made 150rwkw, was a heap of fun in a s2 rx7, with a well tuned webber i would have gotten a good 50hp increase.

As stated before, turbo on an na motor is fine, just like bolting a turbo onto any na tho you have to keep the boost low.

OK, my 2c..

Doing EJ motor is going to be next to impossible, I would let this dream go quick smart.

What you do want is something reasonably powerful with a broad and reasonably high revving. That way you have the grunt to go fast, and done need to break traction everywhere OR fight for power. How to do it? Sub average capacity 4 with a turbo.

If I remember correctly.. It is either an RB20 crossmember OR RB20 engine mounts you need to be able to bolt a CA18 or SR20 straight into the KE chassis.

A CA18DET with a T28 will give you a good 160rwkw that wont make it an absolute shitfight to drive and will make it a low 12 second car. This is what I would do. Personally I would probably fit a T25G off an S13 SR20DET and run the stock ecu with a decent exhaust and cooler.. Call it up to 140rwkw and just keep smilling.

Easy to do, cost effective, good on fuel, cheap to maintain, no need for excessive modification or non factory setups and a fast car.

All in all, win.

yes i know of this engine the only 3SG that was made in RWD format nice engine but i think im looking at a 3RZFE 2.7LT from a 97 hilux keep it NA for awhile then turbo it when i get more cash to buy a nice big snail.

Nope wont be going black top or 20V or 16V it will be a 3RZFE i have checked this out read alot about them fit into earlier rollas without much hassles w58 box fits mounts is the only mod needed to mak eit fit and a custom intake plenum for bonnet clearence not much on youtube about the engine though that i cud find.

I know its out of a hilux 97

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
