No spare parts, not knowledge, no gearbox / clutch options. Your back to where you were with that Merc engine.

[crack]

dude you're a lost cause.

seriously just buy psi999's sr20det + manual setup.

will be easy to install and relatively quick.

v12 is just being Cracka silly.

[psi999]

V12 would be a shit idea Clayton.

well documented that century's (thus Toyota V12's) do head gaskets - fuck that.

VQ30/35?

[myliberty]

Even I think the V12 idea is a crap one.

[TT]

I'm pretty sure his SR20 package is already gone.

But an SR20 in this would be good I rekon.
You don't have to keep up with the internet cred of the cracka and Az show mang...

or a complete 350z engine and box for NA bark.

or go against the grain and get an RB26. I'm told it can neva loose!

[psi999]

Oh sorry yes SR goneeeeeee

[myliberty]

If you're not going to put the merc in the shredder, which would be my first preference even if I owned it myself, then 1/2JZ wins.
don't try to be different, go with what works.

[psi999]

What about VK45 TT, couldn't Al source one locally?

[oxy]

Just go with whatever engine is easiest to hide from your wife.

[JZK25]

Put an SR20 in it? Are you fucking serious? You cunts are all fucked in the head.

[cracka]

V12tt or gtfo. Fag

[TJ]

2j - cheap, fits, works, makes power, 100000000000000000000000000 aftermarket bits for it, Al knows them.

If a LS1 cant fit, it really is the next logical option

[HoonBoy]

What happens with the V12 when you kill a part and have to wait for it to come overnight from Japan before you can take the kids to school?

[JZK25]

Same thing that happens when you kill a part for a 2JZ.

[HoonBoy]

Well that makes it decision made, XR6T motor. Lots of parts, lots of power, decent manual gearbox. Now will it fit...
