will the JDM B6T with the IHI VJ6 turbo direct fit in our cars?

i have hook ups still in japan and might try to work something out for one.

[Rocketman]

I'm not sure if its a VJ6...i've heard of VJ13 and VJ5.

I dont know if they'll fit, you might need a custom downpipe made.

Are you looking for the extra HP? USDM b6t's are a lot easier and cheaper to get ahold of.

[Gostlrs]

i guess they are out there.. i found this

extra HP and have something maybe lined up so it will be very cost effective.

how much does an engine weigh?

And its direct fit right...?

[Rocketman]

Arent you already turbo?

The extra HP the jap engines see is from running higher octane gasoline and more aggressive timing. The intake manifold  changes the torque curve a bit too.

If you plug that engine into your harness and ECU it's going to be the same as what you have now. The turbos as far as I can tell the turbos are all the same size. Why not chip your ECU and upgrade to a VJ14/11 hybrid? A lot less work than swapping engines.

i want a spare engine to build on, and i can get this cheaper then grabbing one local. they want 600 or so around here and that's with out a Turbo. they have race gas in japan but most people don't run it. their normal gas is 92-93 so not much more then here. i mean if i have a chance to get a engine complete delivered for around 400 i would be stoked.

far as turbo's go. i want to go to a Mits turbo when this one is done.

chip is on the list after i get my AEM gauge/controller

'normal' here is 87. as far as my research has shown the only difference is the intake manifold and cams. Hmm, there is a gas station around here that sells 102... maybe I'll put that in my car and go toa  dyno  

[Gostlrs]

whats the price?

i was paying about 4-5 bucks a gallon (convert from liters) for race gas in japan. with that said we only got it when we went to the drags or drifting..

[Yuri]

edit: it's a shell station that has 110 octane unleaded ima check it's price 2nite, there's also a place that sells 114 leaded... but i don't think i want that

[Gostlrs]

damn thats nice...

i need to look around here i am sure someone should have some. i plan on doing a dyno before i raise the boost and chip it. so i can see the before and after

[coco-customs]

it would be nice to see how much hp your running with your exhaust and front mount.

[Gostlrs]

most exhaust claim to be 10-15 so i am hoping it to be around 15-20.

my boss know a shop where i can do as many passes for 30 minutes i think for like 50 bucks. if they know how they can also tweek your car.

i think i will change my timing belt before i do it. my car is squeaking when i start. i swear it wobbles and i feel vibration sometimes but the pulley is solid

[Rocketman]

Also know all the early JDM engines are small nose cranks.

Grant - The cams are the same on the jdm engine as far as I know.

I have the original engine from one of my GTX's here that I will part with...complete except for Ex. manifold/turbo and distributor.  350.00 picked up. Since you are going with a Mitsu turbo you will have to fab an ex mani. anyway. Also you get the Big GTX rods. Motor ran good just used some oil. LMK

where u at in phoenix?

i wanted to get the manifold  so i could work on it without bringing mine down at the time i wanted to work on it.

you willing to lend a hand doing a timing belt replacement? never did one myself and thought it was time to learn

[azgtx]

East Mesa   Higley and Brown area...you wanted to get what manifold???
