Apparently the Bluebird with an FJ20DET got 600+ HP at the wheels at 30+psi boost, before the sparkplugs melted in the head in one of the dyno heats.

So the FJs go hard, but they fit badly in a 1200 unless you are prepared to rework your pedalbox, tranmission tunnel, brake system and front panel etc..I don't see the point.

Plus they are lots heavier than a CA18DET.

I don't think any street driven 1200 can deal with more than 300HP at the wheels.

Most 4 cylinder engines at this kind of power, only make this power in a very small rev band, at very high revs.

Plus in most states it requires a lot of work to convince registration authorities.

If you want to only drag race..then go for it. Everyone has different ideas on what they want from their datto.
