I'm after any help at all, i am underway of gettin an SR20DET Turbo conversion, i've picked out the motor. got Halfcut, going to need new Dif, Radiator and prob change the breaks in near future.

What else am i needing to think of?

and anyone know how much im lookin at for some one to do the conversion. the place im gettin it off with the new dif, and customising the tailshaft. and all bits and pieces to finish the job to go. they are sayin around the $9 to $10 grand mark ???? including motor etc.


sounds bit exy to me. and others.. anyone know dif?

If we are talking about a 1200. Then there's probably less than 5 of these in Australia (I'd bet money that there's less than 10).

9-10k sounds about right. Depends what quality of job they guarantee.

This would be illegal in NSW. So do you legality homework before committing to the task. $10,000+ is a lot of money to for a car that can only be driven up and down the driveway.

But if you can get it going, good stuff. It'll be a lot of fun.

Cheers,
Chris.

but cant you get an engineer to approve the car/ ute when the job is finished

you sure can, you just have to find the right engineer.

same guy who has engineered and had fully registered 13b turbos in 1200 utes and at least 3 sr20 turbo utes. they are out there, you just have to find them.

it couldnt be that hard to find someone. there are plenty of engineeres out there that will do it its just the price of getting it done... lots and lots. whos the engineer that you are talking about?

a local guy from wollongong, i'll get his name for you.

Northpoint Auto Spares on the Gold Coast.

But in all goes, is it worth $10,000 ?

There is a Mazda 1000 13B Tallport, large Bridgeport, Quad throttle body injection, Haltec computer, fresh Tiger Mica paint, powder coated chassis... it has it all. and thats going for $3,800.


oh yeah and if anyone is interested there is a Datsun1200 Ute, neat new paint job. nice magz, bonet scoup... for sale. North Brisbane way. standard A12 motor...

I was lead to believe that sr20 turbos were illegal in 1200's. But i spose if u can find someone to plate it for you, then thats half your battle.

The best person to talk to would be Kev Rowley. He does conversion into 1200's. I can give you his number if you like.
10 grand is pretty much right, give or take a few.

The Bank has shot the dream.

they had the last say.

:( no to loan. no to conversion.

You can have a fully street legal 1200 with a 2 litre turbo if you find the right guy.
