2tg capabilties?????

[SlipKnoT]

hi there first time poster on here so sorry if this is a bit of a bad thread.
anyways on to the point i have been doing a little bit of research and i would like to look into a ta22 with a 2tg and 5 speed manual and my question is would this package be able to break into the high 14's down the quarter and if so would this be very reliable and would it be worth the money.
cheers slipknot

Just have a search on the forum dude, seriously there is so much info about ta22's and the 2TG/T50 combo... If your after a really quick stocker without spending massive $$...
Look at getting the flywheel lightened, carbs re-jetted, and an electric water pump.
No idea on 1/4mile times, but it should help get ya closer

[punkture]

id say no, they produced roughly 75kw atw..not 14 times..but porting and stroking it may get closer

[punkture]

on another note there very versatile engines too, you can do alot with them =p

Hi there slipknot,

You could possibly do well to pm GTA22 off these forums as he is the owner of a sweet little TA22 with a GRUMPY 2tg with 160hp at the rear wheels! Unlike many others with opinions GTA22 actually has the goods and is having a ball flogging it around! He will be able to give you an idea on what is involved in getting that sort of HP. I recon his TA22 would romp into the 14's easily based on the 1/8 mile times at dubbo over easter.

I love NA engine performance, however I have been converted to boost lately...

Cheers,
Jason

Turdinator has hit 14.880 with his 2T-G/3T hybrid setup, I've hit 14.613's with a 1750cc 2T-G setup. I have a 1940cc 2T-G/3T hitting the track soon.

We've hit 14.3 with an almost stock 3TGTE... and that's with bucket loads of wheelspin. almost a bolt in proposition for the TA22. If you can find one, they are awesome fun.

dumb question :O

do you need an engineering certificate for that badboy if ur upgrading from a 2t or 2tg ?

[white_sandshoe]

I'd suggest it's a resounding mmmmyes...
but at least it's engineering for .2 of a litre and forced induction only. don't need to modify sumps, trans tunnels, crossmembers or any of that... A bit extra braking ability should keep the engineers happy.

for a 2TG i'm not so sure... considering it was featured in that same shell...

[SlipKnoT]

hey guys thanks for all the help now i probly should have mentioned off the top that i would like to use a N/Aengine,are those 2tg or hybrid engines mentioned forced induction or N/A

[white_sandshoe]

No worries... the 2TG is a N/A engine.
The Hybrids they talk of are using a 3TC crank, rods and pistons to 'stroke' the engine. Taking it to 1.8L

With the early 2TG engines, that means taking to the block with a die grinder to give the crank clearance, or alternatively using the 3TC block, as the 2TG heads and timing gear can be made to bolt up... these are also N/A engines.

That said, all these engine share the same exhaust manifold pattern, so at any point, you could choose to attach a turbo manifold with relative ease.

[SlipKnoT]

so am i right in thinking that all i would need to build a hybrid is the crank, rods and piston from a 3tc? and what was involved in the 1750cc setup had a quick search couldnt find much

[Rodger]

1740cc is achieved by buying a set of 89mm pistons and boring the 2T to suit. Wiseco make a set of forged pistons 10:1 and up to 13:1 made to suit 2T 2T-G, 3T or 3T-G. To strictly get 1750 you need a very small off-set stroke grind of the crank to increase the stroke.

Cannot use 3T pistons for a twin cam "G" motor.
