Hi everyone.
Its been awhile since I've posted on here but its good to be back!
Anyway.... I've been contemplating a new daily driver set-up involving a fully automatic bus or type 3 'box and a 2.0lt Type IV motor preferably turbocharged. But I need all your help and collective infinate knowledge to get the thing done :agree:
I already have a counterweighted stock 2.0lt crankshaft, 2.0lt Barrels fitted with Type 1 forged 94mmB pistons and rods to match.
Now here comes the fun bit, since I already have these parts I would rather use them than go out and by HUGE nickies or the like so am sticking to the 2.0 capacity. I would also like to turbocharge the motor and have well over 200HP however still keeping the powerband fairly driveable and torquey in the low/midrange (especially since I'll be restricted to only 3 gears). Which leaves me to question what sort of cam and head set-up I should look at going for? Not to mention what size and type of turbo to use?
I was initially thinking of using some modified bus heads with big valves and maybe twin plugs, a mild split duration cam (I know F.A about cam specs so please fill me in), standard fuel injection manifolds coupled with a big (maybe from a ford or GM) throttle body mounted horizontal and facing out towards the cavity above the gearbox, a charge cooler and something like a T03 turbo blowing through the whole system.
What do you guys think? It will be going in an early fastback so I want to keep the standard flat cooling and will more likely be put into use by my girlfriend once completed so will get rediculously high mileage (200kms a day or thereabouts) and will be replacing an auto 350Z with around 300HP.
Love to hear your thoughts.
Cheers,
Cam
