Don't be silly!! Why would you want to swap such a tough engine in the FJ with something as not so tough as the SR??? Putting an RB into a DR i can understand but im not a fan of the idea but the SR!! *shudders* YUCKSKI'S!! Leave the SR in the silvia's/poosars :cheers:

Id love to do the SR20 conversion. Mount it way back so its like a front/mid mount engine and it weighs nothing compared to the RB being all alloy (as far as I know). It would make the car 50kg lighter and turn in and braking would be fantastic. I would only have to worry about 4 coil packs crapping themselves

(This is purely speculation that has no scientific merit which is by definition, speculation)

Why in the bloody hell would you put an SR20 into something that has the mighty FJ?? Have you seen how much room there is between the firewall and the back of the motor in a DR??? You can have a bloody picnic back there!! Why not just move the FJ back further??? I thinking that the SR should just stay where the SR is, just my school of thought....

BTW coil packs crapping themselves isnt really a problem.......

Has anyone ever mounted the FJ20 back for better weight distribution? What gearbox do you use? What do you do with the mounts?

How much heavier is the RB20 than the SR20?

18kg is still a fair amount and is backed by a six speed box. Its also more common and has newer tech so if you're tight like me it would have to be the cheapest way to go. (Not necessarily the strongest or most potential)

Actually only the S15 scores a 6 speed box outta the SR20 range....

    • Adjusting the idle screw is usually (emphasis on usually) just covering up deeper issues. Stuff like the cold start valve not closing properly. Throttle shaft seals on the way out. Coolant temp sensors getting out of spec. Coolant temp sensors especially can be a bear to diagnose because they can fail subtly. My dad just spent weeks chasing down his high idle. He cleaned the coolant temp sensor and everything but the resistance curve just drifts over time and if it's been 20+ years they also get super slow to respond as well. Has a massive effect on fuel economy as if it's off the ECU is going to run richer and command high idle for far longer than it should otherwise.
    • How old is the battery, it's more likely your battery is on its way out.
    • I reckon you'd get 90% off. My washer doesn't get between spokes very well. Haha! I love my Gerni!  Argh! Steam cleaning has its place for sure.
    • Hey all, I did a voltage test with the car (video attached) not running for 3 days. And here is some interesting stuff: - Battery voltage is 12v (I had the key in the ON position) - Drops to 9.76v while cranking then quickly goes up to 14.5v - You will notice there was a sorta slow start but not as slow as it usually is. - Idle surprisingly was better at just over 1,000rpm instead of 1,100 rpm. - I turned on the A/C, radio and headlights in the video and the voltage remains the same - I haven't cleaned the grounding wires on the chassis yet, that's next. - Battery drops to 12.6v when I turn off the car and wait a bit Seems like I might have a parasitic draw? I do have an immobiliser system which does drain the battery more of course but was wondering if there is anything else I should be looking at fixing? Does the ground wires on the chassis have anything to do with the low 12v?        SAU.avi
    • My lord that is some low oil pressure as minimum in the manual! I guess the big part will be seeing how it changes as the engine gets more spirited use.
