X71 engine conversion

[Admiral coFF33]

Hrmm yes, im thinking about converting my SX70 (read: 1S-U power X71 Cresta)

It is rear wheel drive auto.

Now, the 1S-U is a 1.9L 4 CYL Carbi motor:
1S-U
Year:86
Bore: 80.5 mm
Stroke: 89.9 mm
Compres:9:1
Capacity:1832 cc
Power:95 hp@5200 rpm
Torque:152Nm@3400 rpm

Now, This poor 1S-U has had a blown waterpump and BHG which i have repaired.
The engine is like the Soarer having the 1G , its not right,
The car weighs around 1.5 tonne, and it has a 21 year old engine that makes 95hp.

Conversion needed ?
i think so !

now because the Cresta is a SX71 being X71 means that its an SX7 cross member which means the S range of engines *should* fit right ?!

So thinking again this is my daily *cheap* i need something S ?

What are my options ?
Could i simply install an S engine , or buy an MX73 crossmember and put a 5M or 7M in ?

Only problem i see with installing something like a 3S or 5S is that the East West engine will have to be changed to North South then "hopefully" bolt up to my A304 auto box.

MX73 xmember and 2JZ, its your only sensible option

[Radar]

Would a twin turbo 1UZ fit in there?

Would be way cooler than a soarer. And as such, you could sell the soarer to fund it!

[brett_celicacoupe]

ever considered the amout of work AND money in a TT 1UZ setup?

[Radar]

No.

But this is the internet.

cheap and easy to install but still good enough for a squirt or two

[MR 1JZ]

1UZ + autobox

win

or failing that, a 5ME + W58 out of an MA61

[EldarO]

i have JZX90 mounts, i can get you a front sump for nix, and i can source you a 1JZ + auto out of either a JZA70 or JZZ30, from there you just need to decide whether you want the hydro fan or clutch fan

Elmo.

[MR 1JZ]

I think clint has an NA 1JZ lying around too coffee...that would be pretty cool

[Admiral coFF33]

i have to re-state , after all your opinions that i want to do it as CHEEEEEEEAP as possible !

which means
NO 3SGTE GEN 3
NO BEAMS
NO 2JZGTE

-

i think the MX73 5MGE is best option so far ... but its such a shit motor :S


Also , How easy does the MX83 crossmember bolt up to the X71 ?
If its as easy as a JZA70 to GZ20 conversion then 7MGE might be the best choice ?

[MR 1JZ]

you actually want to put a 7M in a car?

are you mental?

[JustCallMeOrlando]

Dude, MX73 crossmember and 5MGE. Simple and effective, guaranteed bolt-in. The 5MGE isn't terrible, and ultimately, you wanna focus your attention on the Pig.
