Ok news
the engine is complete! harness,ecu, blabla all comes with it yeahh
now the bad news
the valves had piston contact and bend. he told me he is sure the chain broke, cause he using JUN valve springs and no other mods to the head-->sounds familiar to me LOL
i hope for pics
I have an engine in a similar condition here. These are interference engines & all of my intake valves are bent, but the exhaust valves are ok. I'd also be worried about damage to pistons/pins/bearings.
The gearbox front housings are different so you will need the FJ front housing, but they're a direct swap. FJ20 parts are quite expensive, especially those timing chains & guides. Check here for some Aussie parts prices if you can't find them in the US - http://www.swmotorsport.com.au/
I'm moving this to the FJ section. "Hyrbid" is for one-off, or uncommon swaps (V8, RB, rotary, etc.).
If you want a solid, strong NA engine, go for it. But honestly if you want power, you want a turbocharged engine.
well, ill put it like this
if youve got deep pockets, you can do it, they aren't always cheap but if you look you can find stuff for them without too much
on a side topic, i've got an extra head, and i may have an extra set of rods and pistons...
if you need it i can oblige
NA motors can be turboed and make good power(iirc the best dynod fj20e+t ive seen is 318rwhp with boltons in a datto 510..., which for a stock motor is decent but not even breaking a sweat)ive also got a bellhousing to make it work
go standalone(insert: Megasquirt) and bam, you've got an fj with very few limits
but shpping would probably own you... i'm just sayin its here and i have a few sources for cheap parts too
/plug
but i will say this, if i bought it, it would be for parts at the most, ether the head, valves, or pistons are fubar and you will be replacing some stuff, dont expect to drop it in and run with it
OK sold my soul and going pick up next week my FJ
i think its a good deal 150 for a FULL swap
i tray to find a spare head so i can rebuild the old one and build a nasty turbokit around it LOL
i hope i can get for arround 300 bucks a running engine LOL
NO joke
i drove my silvia since i have her less than 500 meters, its time for her to lost her innocence.
