olie05 Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I remember reading somewhere that the ca18det was a very reliable engine, And it came in the 180sx in japan, so it is already rear-wheel drive. You may also look into the sr20de, since an N/A sr20 would probably get better gas mileage than a turbo one. The plus side to this is that the sr's came in sylvias also, so it will go in easily rear-wheel drive style. Also, there are a few people on this board that have done the SR swap, so you will be able to ask someone for advice in that field and maybe even get them to make you mounts. -Oliver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patzky1 Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Maybe try the 2.3L 4 cyl. out of a newer ford ranger? They can get 30-ish in the truck so it may get similar in a Z. It would probably fit, is already set up for rear wheel drive, and will be easy to find a 5 speed for. Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darkone Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Buy a 2 stroke scooter that gets like 70mpg and build the Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
