RA65 - Any good NA motors?

[Hibino]

Hey guys I've got an RA65 at the moment and am toying with the idea of decent NA motor for it. But really all I can come up with is 2JZGE or a beams 3S. I don't want to spend like 5k on a halfcut so beams is out Are 2J's any good NA?

I haven't been able to find many halfcuts so I can't get a price on one. Would I be better to just go SR20/1G turbo?

Thanks guys.

2JZGEs are great but you'll be wasting your time putting one in an RA65. If you want to use one, sell up and buy an MA61.

3S, 18RG, 1GGE are the obvious motors you could use. You could pick up an early 3SGE for not much.

Would I be better to just go 1G turbo?

Yes. It's tried and tested and people are very happy with the result.

Go the 18R-G... You wont be disappointed!

Go the 1GGE, 18RG's make the promises but don't deliver the numbers.

Don't wast your time on an 18R-G, Go the 1VZ or the 1MZ V6 n/a from a Hilux

...or the 1MZ V6 n/a from a Hilux

How do you propose he mounts the starter motor?

[GA61XX]

Don't the starter motors bolt to the bellhousing ?
i have been looking at this conversion for a mate. we were hope'n that the RWD Hilux would have all the parts in the right spot

[gianttomato]

VZ no probs. No way you'll be able to do it with a 1MZ. I don't believe the Hilux was ever offered with an MZ option. went from 3VZE, 5VZFE and now 1GRFE.

Unless you have a compelling reason to stay NA (eg racing class limitations), you'd be crazy not to go down the proven 1G-GTE path. Good results, not too expensive - which cannot be said for any of the NA options listed so far.

Personally, I'd (very slowly) getting bits together to 1UZ mine. But then that's just me.

3RZ-FE Vs 1G-GTE >.>

1G-GTE is a toyota motor... clicky and clicky.

[Hibino]

:/

I was joking. Might have helped my post if I put in a
