2tg or 18rg??

[Azaaaa1]

so what would it take to make a 18rg make bout 120ish rwk going na??

Hi,

a bored stroked 2T will produce the most power

Unless you bored and stroked an 18R-G to 2.4litres, where it's extra displacement will make more power than a bored/stroked "2litre" 2T-G.

the you resleve the 2TG to a 91mm bore!!! offset gorund Y series crank!!!

back ontopic 120RWK, as river said you will need a 18RG bored and stoked running a pretty unstreatable combo of compression, ports, valves, cams, alot of balancing work
for the cost you could put a 1G in and get it engineered

dont use the mighty boat anchor and piece of shit18rg motor ,go for the 3tgte turbo factory computor etc buy rods ta23 xmember to suit a ra23 /40 series celica and have some fun .at the end of the day the 3tgte motor is a better option than the 18rg

crap.. double post.. my bad..

[74sLeeka]

I think what is more important is deciding on a TA22 or a RA23, and i dont see why anyone would prefer a RA23 except they are more common/less old.

FUCKING RIGHT !

'22s all the way.. well, unless a 28 is involved, then, i'd say go that over a 22

my suggestion: 1g is plenty of power, less work.. and not terribly hard to fit so i've heard

Until you need to replace a dizzy cap.
IMO if your looking for power 1GGZE, there is no better for creap RA23 power (i prefer it over the GTE)

Mate... about as much money as it would cost you to buy a Beams 3SGE NA front cut and install it in ur car... making similar power and being a hell of a lot smooth/efficient

[suss_slide]

18rg and 2tg, is dinosaur my meng, how much money do you have to spend? dpending on that look into gettin a bigger better motor, like everyone le has already said, 4age,3sge,1g all these motors would be way better, cheaper, and more reliable.

[Azaaaa1]

cheers guys

how hard is it to fit a 4age or 3sge?

whats the chance of picking up a 3tgeu nowdays??

A complete one which isn't rooted? Pretty slim.

Go for something more modern unless you have a specific desire to stay with the old-school stuff (and you're prepared to pay twice as much for it). The 1G path has been travelled a thousand times, so if you're new to this game it wouldn't be a bad way to go.

1g in a light weight ta22/ra23...bit of a lead tipped arrow hey??

how bout a ca18det? cross breed? many peoplpe done this??

Plenty, but you won't find much support for it here.
There are smart Nissan owners who put Toyota engines in their cars when they get sick of blowing them up, and there are not-so-smart Toyota owners who put Nissan engines in their cars

1G is still a 2 Litre engine, and from some comparisons I've seen over the years on these forums, isn't really a whole lot heavier than an 18RG, especially if you mount it properly, ie low and as far back as possible.

Its by far the easiest option for your conversion other than an 18RG, there are probably more 1G powered celicas around here these days than 18R's

That being said, if you want NA, look at a RWD 3SGE from an Altezza... more $$$, but gets you that NA 4 cyl.

Converting a 3SGTE to RWD is a trickier path, custom inlet and exhaust manifolds, removal of dizzy, etc etc...

Until you need to replace a dizzy cap.

Retail for the 3T-GTE dizzy cap is less than $50 in NZ, its the rotor thats the killer (almost $200 trade last I checked).
