I imported three FJ motors from Japan and they are excellent engines. They came in the R30 and R31 Sylines as well as the S11 and S12 Silvia and Gazelles.

 

They never officially came to the U.S, but Nissan Motorsports raced them briefly in the Stadium Truck series back in the mid-'80s. The factory team in Japan raced the FJ20 in a strokedbored version in their 240RS Rally cars and made up to 280hp in normally aspirated form with Mikuni carbs.

 

In NA form they are 150hp stock and in turbo form they produced 205hp stock (in their last configuration).

 

Yes, these engines gave birth to the SR20 family.

 

I have a highly modified one installed in my '84 Datsun Pick-up and it runs hard and strong.

 

The FJs have short-ish rods (79mm) so they can be revved easily to 7-7,500rpm.

 

Hope that answers your questions.
