CA18 on with t25 on stock boost...cant say lag is something you would ever experience, even with a t28 they shouldnt be to bad. wether its lacking torque all depends on what you compare it to. it would have loads more torque than the A series

and probably best to go bigger fuel lines whatever engine you go for, most people run larger fuel lines with carbied cars due to the lower pressure being pumped through them, therefore lower supply kinda thing

s14 sr20 vvti is just awesome when suspension is set up right. they are a little bit front heavy. and the sound they make when the vvti hits makes you want to keep it there and they have plenty of pull. i have a mate with one in his ke70 corolla and its just a fun car full stop

G'day, I have searched the forum about opinions on these conversions, but I wanted to be more specific.

I have a A14 powered 1200 coupe, I just sold a 12A turbo Rx-2 and have always owned rotaries but found the turbo ones not real enjoyable to drive and maintain.

The engines I'm thinking of are, SR20de vvt, CA18det or a 12A extend port with a weber carby.

The car will be 90% street driven, weekend blats through the national park corners so want good handling, and the odd track day.

Fuel economy is not an issue.

I've owned bridgeport 13B's before and found them lacking in real grunt, but that was in heavier RX-7's. Also too noisey

I do enjoy torquey engines, especially out of corners.

I didn't find the 12AT fun through corners with the boost hit.

I am kinda over turbo motors, but the CA18det looks like the main engine swap to go for. Bu are they laggy and not real big on torque?

A 12A with weber may be an easier / cheaper conversion, would I be able to run the standard fuel lines etc?

Any advice would be awesome

cheers
