RE: FJ20DET fitting Kits

[Terry Rudd]

I like the FJ too, but don't forget that they are a high K's unit from importers these days. The last one I bought was in 1997/8ish and it had 86,000 k's on it which is about the limit that I'd ever buy an imported engine. This one was a beauty but 3-4 years on they must be nearly all over the 100k mark by now. The rebuild costs for the FJ are quite exy in the scheme of things, just a head gasket is a shock price.   regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Leighton Sent: Sunday, 10 March 2002 8:53 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: FJ20DET fitting Kits thanx for that  - im not really interested in the SR - to pricey  - and yes ill prolly do a ca one day but i want some torque and think for reliabilty and gob loads of power the FJ is the way to go all i need to know is which one to go with i know there are few to choose from   thanx   Leighton ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry Rudd To: Ozdat List Sent: Sunday, March 10, 2002 8:26 PM Subject: RE: FJ20DET fitting Kits FJ/CA/SR kits are available from SSS Automotive and Maddat. The SSS FJ kit is fine for a manual body, mine has been used/copied quite a few times and we've never had a problem. The rear trannie mount is where there are subtle differences in the kits. If I was doing a turbo conversion in 2002 instead if 1993, I'd be looking at the SR or if I was on a budget the CA. The CA is the most under rated turbo conversion and seen as a bit woosy for a 1600 but they are strong & reliable.   regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: Leighton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, 10 March 2002 6:12 PM To: Terry Rudd Subject: FJ20DET fitting Kits What kits are available for fitting an FJ20 det into a 1600 and what experiences have people had with them?   and for that matter should i want to stick an FJ20det into my 1600 which engine is best to get  - i know there are couple different engines you can get from different cars   but if i wanted to do some work on a fj20det  which is the best engine to get and what are the differences     Thanx   Leighton   --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/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
