I just re-thought my morals on the topic. I agree with truenosedan.
I would have none. Give me n/a revs and power anyday over a crappy hairdryer.
The n/a part of the car makes it fun to drive. If you want a drag car buy something turbo. windy mountain roads aren't about turbos.
Why put a sr20 in a hachi when you could just buy a silvia. stronger chassis, more aftermarket crap, no rust etc etc.
I like na
the suspension is stock.
Bit off topic
Handling gets messed up by upgrading brakes(greater unsprung weight can detract from the handling). (if your spending 5000 just on brakes, there are better options like carbon fibre brake discs and pads - , at 2kg for the front and 1.5 for the rear, this is also a factory option from porsche)
Also the height and how close the engine is to the firewall and the weight of the engine and gearbox.
Suspension wont do miracles if the chassie is not prepered for that extra weight.In most cases.
so CA18det vs sr20det vs 4agte, personaly a modified 4agte is great all arounder
If s2000 half cuts where cheap, i would say yes to that.
for drag racing 20bt, 2jz
for drifting: any det, 13bt, maybe a 3sgte
I like whiplash inducing boost..... but also love taking the 4age to 8 G in NA form........ untill I can afford otherwise its NA for now.
for eg, do you really think this will handle well in corners
suited for drifting
FJ20 a good allrounder but costs $$$$$$$$4(note the snail)
Wtf.... that top pic.... overboard styles.... I like the Sr20 option... that last pic looks like an S2000 motor with a big ass snail.... not FJ..?
I want a boosted 4age.... best suited in my opinion for the 86 chassis over other turbo options..
totally understandable when it comes to keeping a motor N/A, I know the clubman boys are true to this and have a mate that swears by a N/A motor in a fraser clubman. His motor is a black top 20v, motec m4 rar rar making 240flywheel hp. But the thing is he has spent well over 20k on the motor alone. But when chasing subsequently more power top range and alot more raceable midrange you can't beat a forced motor. At the end of the day the car is being built as a everyday street car, with alot of thrashing on weekends AAA sprint meets, Skid pans, and wed/saturday test and tunes. Alot of more fun comes when the car is built to do all area's of racing.
and btw last picture in Daniel-AE86 post is not a FJ20, as you can see its actually a s2000 motor with a supercharger. I was thinking why the motor was slightly on a angle, and you can see that it is not actually a nissan motor but a honda motor with a supercharger (setup similar to that of d1 driver Terasaki's (ASM) s2000, comptech etc)
sorry, its a f20c1. s2000 is not the name of the engine.
also i dont think the same way about NA's. I mean, if its for daily driving its economical and fun, but if you want to be serious and competive, i would say that if you wanted 230hp out of the 4age it could cost you more than swaping for another engine that can produce that horsepower easily and be more realible at the same time, cheaper with greater torque, the money you would spend just on cams alone is not worth it.
Offcourse people that have spend alot of $$ on their NA 4ag will never admit this.
s2000 = model of the car if you wanted me to be more specific, I would of said its a F20C
we picked up on the mistake coz u put a 'J' in that engine code
must agree, the sound of a NA revving engine soothes the soul and inspires great driving.
i watched a DVD with an 86 in it with an unusual enige transplant.
it had an F20C in it, the 2L from the Honda S2000. (very pricey)
alternatively, you could try and do a Vtech honda D16A conversion.
