good motor for an FB?
 
alright since i have been thinking about going to another engine...debating on what to go with...does any one know a decently simple motor to drop in it besides a v8? i wanna either be v6 or 4cyl. just trying to get an idea.

What kind of power?

What kind of performance?

There are plenty of choices.

0001tmn 11-15-08 09:25 PM

i shouldve stated that my bad on that. i want decent power and be able to DD it..i was thinking an SR20 but i dont know...just would like some one give me a few good engines that would fit with out to much work..like i dont wanna spend 6months getting the engine fitted right.

Easiest fitment is stock tbh.

The only quick n' easy aftermarket swap that I know of comes from Granny's Speed Shop.

If you're going to go piston, go all out.

sr's are good strong reliable engines, they make just enough power in my opinion, good luck

i love my rotarys just i cant afford to own one right now...no job and no income doesnt help my story and i have a 85k 12a fb no idea when it will go being my only car. i will for sure put a rotary back in it some time.

heidihi 11-16-08 01:06 PM

hmm sr20 is my vote.. or a grand national engine if you want power and v6.. another vote id have to give to the toyota 2rz power plant.. supposed to be a wonderful motor.

you could get a chevy 3.8L or 4.2L V6. or if you are feeling ballsy you could find a 4G63 and a T5 tranni and make a 4gFB

85K on a 12a is nothing. if you dont treat it like shit and do the maintenance itll last you longer than youll have the car, probably.

if you dont have a job or income, how do you expect to afford an engine swap? cause unless you do a shitty job thatll cost you more money later, then its not going to be cheap.

0001tmn 11-17-08 04:38 PM

i have like 3k saved up from all my TII stuff and i'll have more soon. so i was getting an idea of what i could do.
