What car for a 1GZ-FE conversion

[260BC]

Not going to read this novel but anyone who starts with an engine is a teeny novice. Start with the car and it's purpose, that is how it's done if you want to end up with something that boats your float.

lol. have axe and welder, it will fit.

Nah, wrong uncle A.

You see, the v12 makes a noise no faggotbox LSdatsun1uzRBmSomething will ever. Therefore design car idea around engine.

IS200 is reasonable priced and could be a good thing.

is the 1G sump anything like the 1U sump?

1UZ front sump

1G-GE front sump (like IS/altezza) is just the block width with a bowl infront of the crossmember, nothing major/no wings. Crossmember is straight east/west so not a big issue for a winged sump like the 1gz/1uz/2jz etc.

I see a front cut down at Benbendesu every weekend

If I had a patrol still I would slap it in

cracka, dont get me wrong, i love these wacky projects of your just for lolz, skids, bitchez and shit.. but really, what will an IS200 do that the subaru wont? (apart from lookin awesomer)

you sounded pretty over it with the subie, and that was before you finally cracked the shits with it. and the new plan is similarish with different body.

The moment I heard Clayto's crank over on the dyno, I needed one again. Is200 looks like best at to do it in a car with mod cons, subtle, relative transplant ease.

Selling mine had to happen as it was about to become a 50k car. Rebuild, box, turbos, e85/flex, drag radials and steelies etc etc etc. it would never end.

That noise.
Hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng.

[MRMOPARMAN]

That noise. Hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng.

i agree, i approve. hurry up, buy one and start project thread!

Cheap, comfortable. Not exactly modern, light or 100% rust proof, but would be easy to engineer, suit an auto box, in board rear discs and unbreakable diffs?

IS200 is obvious choice. Easy fit, great chassis, will be more than enough power NA, nice car all round except rubbish engine.
Auto would be a mistake though. Clayto's is just a cunt because his clutch and flywheel is the weight of an envelope and it is an unsprung centre. Put a normal full face sprung centre clutch in it and it would be a doddle to drive.

and on the flipside, someone else needs to put an M60B50 into an E46 320i then.

Problem is is200 manual means:
Tko6060 or tk600 3k
Clutch flywheel concentric slave pplate hydraulics 3k
Adaptor.500
Fix adaptor200
Re do adaptor 500
Fix adaptor v2.0 200

Compared to stock manualised auto, 65mm friction ring lockup converter, OEM alignment and dowelling. 3k including linkage for b&m or hurst.

Major fuck around, also much more load on diff. Ripping a skid with the auto is far easier on the shittystock 2pinion diff.

Manual = cool. But my knee cant handle manuals anymore, I reckon I would be on crutches if I had to drive claytons for a day.
Auto = Manualised A340 and a lockup converter with a huge friction surface. Would do whats required I am sure.

i dont think that will be so much of a problem for him.
