FJ20DET would probably easier due to the fact that a 13B is considered to be 2.6L (due to rotary 2 stroke-like design)

Even if the 13B would be more appropriate for weight balance reasons.

The 2L turbo was probably only registered because the Ute is considered a commercial vehicle, not a passenger car. I'm not sure you could do more than 1.8T in a Sedan or Coupe in NSW anyway.

Even my CA18DET was scrutinised by the RTA staff when I first registered it. Even though the Engineer gave me a certificate. The guy behind the counter said.. "That only just fits within the guidelines".. and gave me a dirty look.

ps. This was in the days when the RTA knew how a car worked. These days, RTA staff are glorified checkout chicks.

is the fj20det easier or harder than the 13b turbo to engineer?

You can have a fully street legal 1200 with a 2 litre turbo if you find the right guy.
My ute was fully engineered and regod with a FJ20T in NSW.

The Bank has shot the dream.

Im up North Brisbane

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.

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...

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

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?

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.

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