Is your bluebird a series 1 2 or 3? If series 3 you will find that fitting a SR20det or CA18det will be the easiest swap.
If Series 1 or 2, You can change the engine crossmember to series 3 & fit in a SR or CA engine, or get yourself a Z18et and bolt it straight in. Not sure on the FJ, but you might have to play around with engine mounts If your thinking turbo, just do it straight up.. The old "I'll fit the engine first and turbo it later" is a very expensive and painful route to take, throw the turbo in now and if you can't handle it then lift your right foot. For EFI all you really need to make it work is a surge tank, some 5/16 & 1/4" efi type fuel hose, and a bosch VL pump. The rest is wiring which you'll probably get with the engine if you buy something like a half cut. If your scared of wiring, you can pull your bluebird loom out, pull the transplant loom out, post them off to someone on this list and for a few hundred bucks they'll splice them together & make the loom ready to plug back into the car & drive. -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Chalmers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 16 January 2004 7:11 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How easy to efi a bluebird Hey Datto people I am tossing up modifying the bluebird abit. Was thinking of going a NA 2l EFI like SR,FJ or even an L or Z. Just wandering how easy is the efi part? I know I need EFI pump and prob a pickup pump to a surge tank as well but do I need to change the lines on the bluey or will the originals be ok not sure of there size. Has anybody fitted an SR or FJ to a bluebird? I know I have seen FJ's, and herd you use a ca20 mount and an original or something. Would even consider a VG30, main reason with the FJ or SR is so I can go turbo later on but the VG in that sweet red pillarles bluey looks great.
