RE: FJ20DET fitting Kits

[Terry Rudd]

The CA18 is a brilliant little street engine in a 1600, I'd love to have the time to build a wagon for Sunday drives with a CA but it isn't in the same league as the FJ20 out of the box. Most stock FJ/1600's when sorted will run 14's and I've seen the odd one run 13's on street tires which is pretty good for a 1600 and will run speeds approaching 240Kph. What is difficult with the power characteristics of the FJ is to translate significant power increases into better ET's, a FJ/1600 that runs 12's has had some serious money thrown at it. It's in this area if that's what your into the SR seems to do a better job, i.e. bang for bucks.   FJ20ET S12 - 190hp, 224Nm; DR30 - 205hp, 225Nm; DR30(IC) - 215Hp, 225Nm CA18DET S12 - 144hp, 148Nm; S13(IC) 174hp, 167Nm   I have seen dyno sheets for FJ20ET's putting out in excess of 400Nm with something around 300rwhp so with only 216hp I would think ~280Nm is closer to the mark. I can't remember how much torque Anthony's FJ puts out but it would be a good indication of what the hp to Nm ratio is.   regards Terry     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ben Sent: Wednesday, 13 March 2002 12:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: FJ20DET fitting Kits according to the specs on it i have, might be wrong ----- Original Message ----- From: Leighton To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 11, 2002 9:24 PM Subject: Re: FJ20DET fitting Kits the ca makes225Nm of torque???   Leighton ----- Original Message ----- From: Ben To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 13, 2002 4:40 AM Subject: Re: FJ20DET fitting Kits dont in standard form, the FJ and CA make the same amount torque?? ----- Original Message ----- From: Leighton To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 10, 2002 1:52 AM 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/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --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/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
