just go carbied NA 4AGE, 200 hp and learn how to drive.
The 1jz can handle an easy 280 rwhp, but the engine is too heavy for that. Really it's the car that's unbalanced and too light for the engine, but I won't get into that.
The power output your looking for could be easily reached with an sr20det, just grab a hks gt2830r ecu and some cam gears and your set. Later when you blown the engine put some forgies and dial it to 30psi (scary on boost)

^^^LOL @ dorio
could easily be reached by spending parts on the engine that cost more than the engine itself? lol
me think the ultimate question for you is, what's your budget?
afterall, if you have a stock sprinter with a 4ag/z/t/e, sr20de/t,2/1jzgte, 3sgte, ca18det, f20c, 13b, 20b and all the other engines that cost more than the car itself, it won't really mean shit when you hit the curves.
it also won't mean shit if you have the best car in the world but the shittest skills either.
rofl...i have to agree...nothing beats the smoothness & control of a tight na
have you really done your research on this? do you know anything about the longevity/reliability/cost?
turbo 4a - gt2510, tdo4, vf12, gt28...nothing larger if you want to minimise lag
sr/ca - gt28rs, gt2530 & over...theres heaps of options with these motors
conservative figures for a sr/ca conversion if you get a shop to do all the work would be about 8-10k (yeah yeah i know some people have done it for less...im taking an average)
4a breakdown would look something like this
suspension 2k
ecu 1.5-2k inc tune
motor 1.2k ( if you scavenge your ancillaries)
fmic 500-1k
turbo 400-1.5k
then throw on a few thou for labour. Of course parts & labour will be cheaper depending on who you know + your own skills but thats a rough estimate & i havent even gone near brakes or diff
how much $$$ you looking to spend?
on a side note...no disrespect, but how old are you?
$700 for a set of american forgies, doesn't sound expensive to me.
Anti-lag is actually very bad for your turbo seeing as you're inducing far higher exhaust temps to keep it spooling which will generally fry the turbine fairly quickly. There's some excellent info about it here:
and also a good thread on Toymods about it:
Eddie.
4agte finally finished. 252rwkw with more to come
you forgot the ecu, cam gears and the turbocharger that you mentioned.
+fitting and tuning
how about now?
Yes, it does, just ask Josh (pinkae86) and Beau
Yeah, that's around 7 gran right there. But it's better than a 1jz. But remenber what he was asking about?
lol but you said the power of a 1jz can be easily reached with said parts
anyways
before going on a engine conversion, you should really assess what your gonna lose. i'd love to be behind an sr20det'd sprinter, but i couldn't handle driving with the shifter position!
