Well People i havent posted in here before but here it goes. i own a TG gemini i have been thinking about conversoins, worknig out a battle plan ect. i have thought about a sr20 now heres a good motor. parts avalibilty is good and preformance is good. but for the same price i can get a rb20 turbo. same capasity (and dont say it cant be done i have personally seen a td coup with a 186 turbo regency aproved)just as much power bits avilable. altho the rb20 can make over 300 reliable kw. now the cost comparison between the two is roughly the same for a conversoion. yet again i could do a piazza swap which will blow to shit after a few hard runs. ive tried this befor and most piazza owners agree there shit. the more cost effective option is a rodao motor but finding one is a pain in the ass. i dont know much about these motors and would like to know how much they can take. my plans are defeatly turbo as the 2.3 ltr would make an awsom basis for the project. what do you think go for the all out sr20 or rb20. or than again is the 2jz....

u posted in the wrong forum man, on the forum page read the writing under the heading and it gives a description of the forum i think it even says dont post here askin questions, but none the less i will help u out,

most people put either fj20's or sr20's some people do ca18's some do piazza's, some do rodeo's and other people like myself are gettin a worked g200 turbo'd, now u have many options, if you are lookin at not spending too much money dont go a conversion or turbo just work a gemini motor, turbos will cost u alot of money, if u want cost on doin a fj20 conversion talk to gene talk to him in the members lounge or general gemini chat forums, im sure he'll answer most of ur questions cos he is currently puttin a fj20 into a coupe,

but remember as i said if money is a problem and ur not wanting to spend in excess of about 10grand for an import engine in the car n running the way u want it dont bother, u can do it for cheaper but it will cause headaches and stress, so be prepared to spend alot of money, cos with conversions, there is other stuff to think of like chassi strength, brakes, and alot of other stuf as i said ask gene he'll tell u what u'll have to just to get a stock fj20 inthe car and running, aswell as a rough price
