Consider this. The FA20 motor is very low and flat. They took advantage of this and lowered the hood. Then they lowered the seating position, and the dash, and the steering wheel and everything.
So now if you put an upright motor in an 86, it would probably need to be dry sumped and the hood still wouldn't close on it. A new hood would need to be made, making it look rediculas, and the driver couldn't see where he/she is going and it would understeer like a drag car. If you have a 2 litre car, then race it in a 2 litre class. |

This. I think if they use this platform to ever do a Lexus roadster (a la benz slk350 or bmw z4), a dry sumped 2GR is the IDEAL candidate.

i knew it was powerful but i never looked into it much part from some seat time in the car, unfortunately my mates one was pre revamp and it would strangle the engine down when ever we tried some silly behavior, so we never really got to unleash the full potential of the beast, nun the less the tires where melted easy, im definitely going to T-bone his rear quarter panel, i mean someone might definitely going to T-bone his rear quarter panel one night, sorry folks way off topic, |

I'm not hating the engine itself. I road raced a mk4 for several years and have driven some of the fastest 2j time attack cars in the country. I do roll my eyes with all the swaps that people do with this engine. If we're going to go for a big power engine, why not a ls swap? :p

but the same can be said for the 1uzfe and 3uz, we can do just as much with 4ltrs. 500cc per bore is perfect for just about everything, and it would also "keep it in the family" so to speak, when we talk to customers about what engine swap they want, 99% of the time they say "same brand please" and i agree for the most part, selling the car in the future is much more easy when its not mismatched parts too, wire and fire conversions are easier with same brand parts, if you want a headache.... daytona cobra body, (chromoly tube not box ladder) nissan v8, toyota R154 5speed, R33 GTR back end, s15 silvia front end, evo brembo brakes this is a mates project, from spare parts from around the shop, for taga rally of new zealand we hope, its going to be such a handful, |

EJ207/257 and maybe an EZ30R are the only engines I'd care to see swapped into this car.
