I have driven one with a rack conversion, it was fucked. But if you can do a rack conversion that you will guarantee will work properly he will trailer it over.

WHere the fuck are you cunts getting this idea that a 1GZ blows headgaskets easily? Sounds like a complete load of shit to me but link me up.

Have a chat to Norbie - he mentioned that's its common after bubbles started appearing in his coolant (thankfully wasn't a BHG)

[Sketchy]

Fuck me. So much butthurt in this thread.

Good on you Clayto, I reckon the v12 will be the business. Even if it ends up being heavier than the original turbo 6 idea just work around it with suspension fettling,etc to get it how you want. The noise everytime you plant the right foot will make it all worthwhile. I'm doing the same with the 2JZE30 and even with the extra stress the heavy donk is putting on stuff no way would I trade it for anything else.

As for the SR20 idea, seriously, what the fucking fuck. I like you guys and all but you need to be smacked in the face with a wet fish to destroy a car's soul with that tractor engine POS. Why not fit a mootec bucket of aids while you're at it.

P.S in future, dont ask any cunt on this forum what you should do, they'll come up with a million reasons why you should/shouldnt do it. Go straight to Al's, drink his beer, do not pass go, get a plan and make it go.

He doesn't drink beer numb nuts.

[Shifty]

I love this thread. It makes me less ridiculous.

Get this thing to Al's stat, for some progress

He doesn't drink beer numb nuts.

Hence the reason why he can't own a V8

[I'm DJ!]

It's all a moot point now. My money is off in the ether on it's way to another mans account as payment in full for the V12. :h5:

Giddy the fuck up

[BigMuz]

I'm here for the gangbang.

Wow, that was an interesting afternoon. Thanks for the entertainment fellas! :D

[Andrew Bolt]

Good.

Reverse psyc works.

[BigMuz]

I don't know if this is the most sensible plan but it will be quite individual and briskish so happy days.

Can you just stick with this now?

Cheers

Ps single turbo or twins?

[Boxer]

Whats the weight comparisons between these engines? (2J, LS, 1G)

Will the V12 end up further forward than an LS1 would have? (if it were viable considering the steering box?)

I have to admit, the naysayers were what finally fired me up to pull the trigger.

Assuming it actually fits, then yes I will stick with this. It will cost more. It won't be as fast as a tuned 2J or LS. But it'll be cooler.

Probably not turbo at this stage. I still have some throttle bodies hanging around in my garage.........

Anecdotally, the 1GZ is lighter than the 2JZ (and so probably the Merc I6 donk I was going to use) and close enough to the same length.

I expect that the 1GZ would weigh more than the LS1 and yes, there will be more engine ahead of the front axle than with the LS1.

[JZK25]

1GZ is reportedly 20kg lighter than a 2JZ so a little bit heavier than an LS1. It will obviously be further forward than a V8 as it is longer.

The 1GZ in the Liberty should be a reasonable demonstration of how compact the engine is.

Al, I think I'll need the "Special" exhaust manifold.
