1jz xg ute :)

[Another_ef]

Apparently was running with a stock setup, but then added more poke and never finished it, a mates dad just bought it and they're stripping it for the motor/box and bolt ons,

How different are xg crossmembers to ea/b/d ones?

[DJV8T5]

I think it depends on the year, as I believe some early XGs still had 4.1s in them, but there is sure to be a way to mount a 4l in there.

[LUXO_8]

they were still officially called XF's but went right through to 93... XG started with the intro of the 4litre into EB2

I was thinking more like persuade to be sold crossmember + mounts and swap into box car, for more j motor e series

[NUT347]

See if the cross member is modded, if it's only the engine mounts that are modded they are the same as xe-ed.

[NUT347]

Also, I don't know why you would bother.

The hassle and stuff around of getting a 1j to work properly in an e series it would be way easier just to turbo the 4L.

[OMY-747]

And you would be downsizing on motor lol

[bentls]

1j >>>> non forged 4l

end of discussion... if the motor is cheap and you can do the fab work yourself why the **** not...

ive seen a sr20 into a r32... most people would say thats pointless but im sure there was a valid reason

[OMY-747]

That's cause an sr20 has more torque then an rb20.

[Another_ef]

No matty sr into 32 is done for better weight distribution and more nimble handling, 2 less cyl over the front wheels has got to be an improvement in anyones books lol, specially if it deletes an rb20

[highfaultcurrent]

your mate would be JP then?

[OMY-747]

It also has more torque. Look up the specs lol. Same capacity and 2 less cylinders is why it makes more torque.

[Another_ef]

Yeah it is..... How do you know him?

Who cares matty it's a shit nissan engine

[_JP_]

From what I could see, the fabrication and fitment of the engine etc looked fairly simple, but the wiring was a mess! It ran for a few years with a stock 1j, twins, c4 with dellow bellhousing, pretty much tried building a racey quick streeter, never got finished, and we picked it up at a great price, with many goodies, stripped the ute got rid of it, the motor will power our new BB/HR drag car.
