Yeah, it does have an affect on engine balance. But as long as you pull the rotating assembly and have it balanced, no problem...

Joel07

My guess is he's from Australia...

The RB20DET, I think, is the Nissan V6 that came in their version of the 300ZX, is that right? Definetly post up some pics!

Joel07

From what I understand, you can just bolt the head on, but I'm not sure if there's any differences in the bottom end. I would guess that the SOHC motor's valve reliefs would be in the wrong place. It would probably be better to just swap the whole motor (like WickedTSI said), especially since it's ...

Joel07

Yeah, I'm really sick of seeing all these SR20DET swaps. Who decided that the KA24 isn't worth a crap? I'd like to build one just to spank all the big $$$ SR20's around...

Joel07

Yeah, what you would have to do is use the Mistu flywheel and pressure plate, and try to find a GM clutch disc small enough. Then you would have to make sure that the input shaft is the right length, and if it is, you would probably have to make a pilot bushing. So basically, it would most likely ...

Joel07

well, I don't want to get in the argument... :) But if it bolts up to an auto tranny, it'll bolt up to any of the GM Chevrolet manual trannys too. They might just say auto only because of clutch, pressure plate, and input shaft issues. I'm not sure, but the bolt pattern for a chevrolet tranny is ...

Joel07

Now that's a big turbo! Looks good man, let me know if you need some machine work done...

Joel07

Well what about the 2.4 that came in the Ram 50's and Mighty Max's? Is that idea just thrown out the window? I know it's a different head design than the Galant's 2.4 (I've worked on a bunch of them at the machine shop), but I've never been able to see the bottom end close up to see if it's the ...

No 2 dynos will report the same numbers, so what good is it?

You got that right! Dynos are great for tuning, and if you're about to make a change, it's nice to compare before and after (as long as it's on the same dyno), but as far as bragging rights, I always laugh when people brag about that ...

Joel07

Wow that looks great! Wonder how much it would be though. It's hard to say if I'd be interested or not depending on how much it would cost. He's saying to wait and see how many are interested, but I'm not interested if it'll cost $800...

Joel07

Man that sucks! Hope everything goes good for ya. Wish I could answer your questions, but I'm a long ways from getting to that point. At least on the bright side now you'll have the Quest done quicker!

Joel07

Well, I really wanted to do it in a truck, but after watching all the drifting stuff, I want something I can drift too. I loved the 200SX I used to have, and they can be found easily for dirt cheap. I know it's crossbreeding, but it'd still be cool. The only reason I wanted to stay away from the ...

Joel07

Yeah, it was a circle track race, the guy in front of me overheated and he didn't have his overflow tube running up to the windshield, so he sprayed water all over the track, and he backed off, and by the time I did, I was in the water. Racing tires, water, and driving on the edge don't mix well ...

Joel07

Check this out, this was me a few years ago in the Pure Stock 4 Cyl's in my trusty old 85 200SX (the black car). No I didn't end up hitting the wall, actually straigtened it back out, jammed it in 1st, and kept on rolling... :lol:

In case the ...

Joel07

Wow! That looks like an awesome truck! I'll bet with that much transmission your driveshaft is about 4" long... :lol:

One things for sure, I'll bet there's not another one like it anywhere! How are you making the adapter plate? I thought of building something myself, but I'm not sure how to make ...

Joel07

I have an S13 I want to swap in a G54b

That's a swap you don't see every day! :D B)

My AIM is Joel07NC, right now I'm not on any other DSM or Starquest boards, but usually I use some form of Joel07. As far as the car goes, well as far as a 4G63 swap goes anyway, I don't have one yet, trying to ...

Joel07

As far as the Arrow/Ram 50 goes, the Arrow is just a more luxurious version of the Ram 50, and I've never looked closely at the Ram 50 guages, but they might be the same. Outside, they're pretty much the same except the grill and badges...

Joel07

Sooooooo, if I find a Mitsu or D50 with the 2.4 already in it, I could just swap in the 2.0 head, intake, manifold, ecm, harness and everything? Hmmmm, if I could just find one with the rings gone or something, I could probably get it for dirt cheap...

As far as the crank and rods go on the non ...

Joel07

I think they'll work if it was from a 2.0 or 2.4 motor. The 2.6 trucks use the wide bolt pattern. And I think there was a wide pattern 2.0 and 2.4 too. So, I guess I'm not much help...

Joel07

Just browsing through the www.lookoutdrift.com website, watched the videos, and all I have to say is I'm hooked!! :D That is freakin awesome watching that stuff. Boggles my mind that you can keep a car sidways for that long. I'm not sure if I'd be able to do it though, I've been racing for too long ...

Joel07

Yeah you're probably right. I don't have the truck here at the house (it's in Creedmoor, about 20 miles away :D), but it's the Plymouth Arrow version of the Ram 50, at it's pretty much all optioned out. I'm pretty sure it's at least got a tach and water temp guage. But, I'm thinking about getting a ...

Joel07

Wow just looked through lookoutdrift.com, and the ones at Charlotte, VIR, and Richmond are all within about 3 hours from me. VIR is only like an hour away, I've made it to both Charlotte and Richmond in two...

I think I know someone who's gonna be watching some drifiting...

Joel07

Man that is awesome! Just wish I had something to drift with. Well actually, have there ever been american cars drifiting? I've got an 89 T/A 5 speed that would do pretty good. Well, actually, I don't think it's got enough power... :lol: Weak little stock 305... Guess I just have to get working on ...

Joel07

So basically, if I find a 2.4 block with the wide pattern, there wouldn't be any transmission swapping needed? I guess it really all depends on what I can find around for cheap :), but that's good to know anyway...

In fact, I might just end up buying a D50 or Max with the 2.0 or 2.4 already in it ...

Joel07

Yeah, the ones from the D50 and Mighty Max trucks with the 2.0 will bolt on, but everyone keeps saying they're not strong enough to hold up. I don't know, maybe I should just get it and run it till it does blow... :D Thing is though, I want it to be tough because I plan on running it at the drag ...

Joel07

Why don't you tell us how you really feel?

Joel07

Alright, here's the second part of my brainstorming. Thought I better put it in two threads to make a little bit more sense out of it. The truck that I want to swap into is a 2.6 truck, and all the talk about the transmissions has me wondering if the truck trannys and the Starquest trannys are the ...

Joel07

Well, I've been brainstorming all day (one of my favorite things to do, brainstorm about new projects that will never get finished :P ), and I was wondering how much difference there is in the turbo and non turbo 4G63. Since the turbo 1G's are not real real easy to find (around here anyway), I was ...

Joel07

Well, I've been thinking about it, and it might be easier to just ditch all the stock guages in the truck and run Autometer. Nice big 5" tach right in the middle (where it belongs :) ), get a smaller (3 3/8") speedo, and fit all the other guages I need wherever they'll fit... :D I'm not afraid to ...

Joel07

Wow! I wish I would have known there was an event like that in Richmond! I live in Durham, NC, and have been kinda looking into the drifting stuff, but I wasn't sure how many events there were around here. Looks like most of it is centered in SoCal. Where can I find out when there will be more ...

Joel07

Most of the electrical issues I've seen are with the blending of the chassis harness and the engine harness. What if you just use the guage pod out of the DSM car? Wouldn't that simplify the process? Not trying to tell anyone how to do it, I'm just saying that for my own project, it might be ...

Joel07

What about the Supra tranny? How hard is it to modify the bellhousing to get that to work? I've made up my mind that if he doesn't want to do this swap, then I'm gonna do it in something, even if I have to buy a truck... lol

And you're probably right about the getting it running. I just tend to ...

Joel07

So you're thinking about going with the Tec3 setup, right? I wonder since I'm still in the planning stages I should think about going with the standalong system to start out with, and not even mess with the stock harness and ecu. From what I've heard, the electromotive stuff is super simple to hook ...

Joel07

Slightly off on the 2.4 mark. Using the 4G64 with the 4G63 head throws the rod ratio way out of whack. So much that it requires milling of the block to make clearance for the rod and crank.

I'm assuming you're talking about the 4G64 crank in a 4G63 motor. Using a 4G64 bottom end with a 4G63 head ...

Joel07

OK, I'm still not sure I'm gonna be able to do this. It's actually my friend's truck, but it's kinda gonna be a project for the two of us, so I have to work on talking him into it. So his truck is an 84, which comes with the 2.6 (which led me to the Starquest board, which led me here :D) , so if I ...

Joel07

Never mind, I'm an idiot. Already started with the newbie junk. Already found two links for truck 4G63 swaps...

Joel07

Hey guys -

Ran across this site actually looking for stuff to do to the stock 2.6 in a Ram 50. Well actually, it's a Plymouth Arrow, but it's the same thing. After I saw the 4G63 swaps, it really sparked my interest. Anyway, I was just wondering if anybody else had done one in a truck. I'm just ...
