Hachi engine conversions, costs, and advantages

[Roku_trueno]

Really cool conversion to do, plus its NA and Toyota....

[E-volve]

Don't use that old fashioned T50, that's for 50hp oldtimers
Make it fit to the W-series...

[Roku_trueno]

I think W series are kinda heavy... Dont know the exact weight difference between W and T50 though.

13B from S5, bullit proof if treated right though not the engine for drifting.

pro:
very lightweight
very low in chassis
very near to firewall for weight distribution
powerfull (NA or charged)
VERY reliable when tuned the right way
EXTREMELY reliable when stock (had one with 300k on clocks and still beating on circuit)
way less moving parts
not hard to get if you know where to get
can be made bullit proof
very nice engine for lightweight car like AE86
you can fit 12A and 13B trans: unbreakable
it's a Wankel

con:
fuel addict (who gives a damn)
easy to break when abused
not legal to fit?
hard to get and maintain when you don't know where to get parts
unreliable according to crowd (but wait, 1991 Le Mans was won)
it's a Wanker

1JZ

toshiki yoshioka car has a original 4ag blacktop 20v.(ae111 in japan)
and it can output 200+bhp.(220bhp)
i don't know how much difficult to have this sort of engine and to do a 20v swap.
i love na engines.

I think it is easier and cheaper to put 3S 2J or SR20 engine in AE86 than to make 220 bhp from 4AGE .

sr20 is a nissan engine. right? on s14?

[Chixican]

Have you considered a CA18? You should be able to hit 200hp easily and it's cheaper than SR20DET. There's a local guy here in the US that fabricates engine mounts for it so it's a straight drop in.
