RA60 KID: I Like to pride myself in thinking SA is full of great people. Please don't change my opinion by writing the way you are at the moment. There are a lot of people here that will willingly help you, but I for one can't stand posts using sms speak or 'yo hippie' lingo.
Don't lower your writing standards for the sake of being lazy, as with all things in life, do it right the first time and write with at least some semblance of ability that would reflect our opinion of you.
here are the rules for posting in the tech and conversion section.

I was going to add a few suggestions but I can't understand half of what this kid is saying.

Is it school holidays again?

hey sorry about all of that what would you like to say

hey sorry about all of that what would you like to say

I can't help but be amused by this.

Hahah...yeah. Give him a break though guys, fair's fair If you've actually got a spelling problem though mate, just type in Word, it'll fish out most of it, and makes it easier to read for sure *not having a go at you*

*hijack* So the 18RG bolts straight up to the box? *woohoo* Need a motor for an RA60, and the 21R is just...such a shitter. A nice, revvy little carb motor like an 18R would be awesome...

hey man, 18RG doesnt bolt directly up to W58's all you need is the bellhousing off an ra60 THEN they bolt up, sorry for the confusion.

[suss_slide]

yeah thats right

[nihilism]

RA60 did come out with the 18R, i have the manual somewhere with it in there.

Personally for a conversion i'd go with the 1uz but there's obviously a fair bit involved in that.

ok what type of motors are they ??

[mrshin]

18R - old school Celica, Corona
1UZ - Celsior, Soarer, Crown, and their Lexus cousins

I vote the 1UZ - I'm doing this conversion myself. However, it'll be a bit (lot?) heavier on the wallet than an 18RG.

1. 120-140hp, depending which version you get.
2. Very hard. Production of the 18R-G ceased over 20 years ago.

ok well i think i've found the answer i got a 1GGTE YAY
i got it off a mate with a ra60 bell housing already on it and all the looms made up for one to all it needs is the turbo's does any one have any or know anywhere where i could get two
