RE: FJ20 - max power

[James Marmont]

i have heard fjs have more potential, but arent they either twincam 8 valve or singlecam 12 valve(not sure which) i know srs are a "square" engine, meaning they have(from memory) 83mm bore and 83mm stroke also even the naturally aspirated ones have a solid forged crank these two points alone make them a great engine, but every one whos owned one would know that fjs are supposed to be pretty good too, i just dont know as much about them does anyone know whats supposed to be so great about ca18dets? besides being a nissan -----Original Message----- From: Mark Alford [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 5 December 2001 11:54 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: FJ20 - max power No - this one was a white pearl finish, but did have momo wheels, with 35 series tyres.

He even snapped an engine mount on the way into town! Once he got traction though, it was like a bat out of hell.   Mark.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Anthony La Malfa To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2001 10:55 AM Subject: Re: FJ20 - max power How the hell does his box hold together???  They have troouble holding together in NA form!!!   Anthony GOD-20L     ----- Original Message ----- From: James Marmont To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2001 10:23 AM Subject: RE: FJ20 - max power i have an old magazine at home with Australias fastest fwd( pulsar sss at the time) naturally aspirated sr20 converted to turbo with 350 hp at the wheels and 390 hp on nitrous used to wheel spin and change lanes on him in 3rd gear. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Alford [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 5 December 2001 10:01 AM To: Ozdat discussion list Subject: FJ20 - max power Hi list,   I was speaking to an engine builder last night (in Sydney) who is doing some head work for me, the guy is a guru with Nissan engines and love the FJ20, anyway, the conversation eventually got onto the inevitable question - "How much horsepower can we get..........."   The answer of course was " Are you planning on winning Lotto?" Of course I lied to him and told him I was! (Doesn't everyone plan for that day?)   I am now curios to find out what people are getting out of both the Turbo's and naturally aspirated FJ's and even SR's. Might be a good topic for discussion??   Anyone out there got any stories (preferably true) that they could share.   Mark.         --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
