Pauls 510 FJ20et project

[slo_dat]

AARRGGHH good luck with the l18 I'm not sure if youve sold your Fj20 yet but if you can you should try and have a ride in an fj powered car compared to an L-series car, before you decide. Cool if you want to keep it old school- it's totally up to you I reckon. High revs in an L-series don't sound better that an Fj20 -no way! IMO n/a fj's are one of the best sounding 4 cyl engines. If you are trading an fj to an L I think youll regret it just my 2c though, each to their own.

FJ20 "Thanks I needed that lets roll!"
L18 "NO way not again I'm going to have a stroke -I'll do it but I'm not happy about it"

for me an fj is still yawning...

my enjoyment level is sideways full noise on a dirt track...
but on the rd i keep to the speed limit everywhere....lame i know but im no longer a hoon on the rd....

white housings - mega sin

[nosebleed]

fuk i reckon ae.. as bad as painting your car pink..

[nick_m]

they just look like the engine bay is half full!
They look good in the low bonnet line of the rx7's etch but when they get put in a box like a 1600 it just looks like there's nothing in there!

yeah, untill you put on the ida,dizzy,alt etc...
the big issue with them when you do a conversion is the need to sit quite low cos the eccentric shaft (crank) is in the centre unlike a piston engine thats at the bottom..
so the engine sits low in relation to the gearbox, so needs to be mounted lower so the eng/box-driveshaft isnt on a fag of angle...

they are cool motors though, ive never had problems with any of mine that i owned..but i did look after them... but that story is over on havik...

ive been offered a rather good sized wad of coin for the whole shebang, so the project is up in there air...
adam may have been right atleast i could go buy a regd datto instead..
but well see...nothings signed sealed or delivered..so will be business as usual..

hell probably turn out to be a huge time waster who gets kicks out of pissing people round..

[nosebleed]

your honest opinions needed...

before i drop the L18 in i want to make it look a little less yuck, so wanna paint the block, give the rocker cover abit of a clean up etc, repaint the sump black, pullies etc etc..
and off course the crossmember and arms etc will be back to black, or should i do them silver??


black or goldish coloured paint on the block??

black or silver on the crossmember??

i think itd look tacky and fully sick (homo) if there was gold and silver in the same area..

thoughts??

[torqued]

Black is always a classic colour.

polished tappet cover , black block and arms, xmember etc

For what it is this the engine looks tidy with the black and blue.
