RB20

[Eldon B]

Hey i was wondering what your opinion is on putting a RB20 in a Chrysler avenger GlS manual 1.6
something along the lines of this (http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/nissan/other/auction-688672797.htm)

OK thats a SR but yea the RBarmy would love it

After a lot of research a Sr20 or Rb20 will both be awesome but much out of my price range and difficulty, i am now thinking of a rotary engine like maybe 12A or something any thoughts ?

Rotary as a cheaper option? What?


Just find a car with an Alpine engine and work the fuck out of it, then chuck on Delortos and a 5 speed Sierra. Way cooler than any transplant.

agree. have u ever owned a rotary? its shithouse if youre on an anorexic budget

[JoKer]

just do it, like everyone else who wanted to make an Avenger cool

[kierbear]

do whatever feels right

That 1600 MX5 motor only puts out 90hp Eldon, hardly an improvement over an 80hp Alpine for all the coin required!
Better to get a 130hp 1800 MX5 motor or hot up your existing motor, just change the cam, carbs and exhaust to get 100hp.

Hey guys thanks for all of your input, i have still not decided quite what i want to transplant..
just letting you know that i have bought another Avenger, its a Hillman Avenger 1971 and the engine is not running, i have possible future plans to turn it into a street/race car, this is the car i want to do the engine swap, i have another possible idea and that is a 4G63T, i know it is very possible to convert theese to Rwd, this is something i was looking at http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=737423997 what do you think ? also i had another extreme idea which would be a Holden 3.8 Vr ?
