Hey all, i have been concidering an FJ20det conversion but i was talking this over with Gene and he came up with what seemed like a nice setup:
redline or lynx down/or sidedraft manfold
vl .63 exhaust turbo (plus adapter plate to fit to piazza manifold)
Piazza or custom exhaust manifold
45mm Side draught webber
- Engine Mods
rr4 double valve springs
copper head gasket
decomp hypateck pistons

Anyone have a similar setup on their G180?

Any suggestions/comments would be appreciated
(Sorry bout the long post)
Cheers

Yeah, you wont need the bigger lines. The pump will be able to push enough through the stock lines

What about the dizzy?
And also, would it be better to just get EFI, or is it not worth it?

Stacks cheaper to stick with the carby. But EFI is much nicer

Yeah but once the EFI is set up, isn't it alot easier to turbo it? So if it is, is it worth getting EFI on a g180 and then turbo'ing it, or run a turbo using the carby?
