RB26powered74zcar Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Sorry, can't help but can you tell me what that has to do with HybridZ.org? Are you planing to put that in a Z car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue72 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Uuuum, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say 4 cylinder, likely pre 1990s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasper Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Sorry, Not much help with the engine. My guess, datsun/toyota. Honda was mostly FWD. But, you do get points for posting your location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi303 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Do you have access to the car? or is the pic off the internet? The engine mounts look to be stock so if you have access I would advise searching for a plate or ID code somewhere in the engine bay with an engine code on it. The fan is plastic, before 1970ish that would probably have been stamped sheet metal, so I would put that as the earliest likely age. Witht he pipes wriggling around the carburettor I would suspect it is a thermostaticially water temp based Auto-choked carb, those mainly went out of fashion for more flexible electronicly adjustable steeper motor auto chokes by the 90's as a means of cleaning up carbs somewht without actually going fully EFI. I would say it is a 70's or 80's engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, you do get points for posting your location. ooking at the location now you point it out... I would be suspicious that it's euro... Antigua and Barbados have plenty of English, French and Spanish/Portuguese history, more so than Japanese... Could be a volvo, maybe Renault or Peugeot, possibly Fiat or even a Vauxhaul. OP, Can we get an exterior shot of the actual CAR itself? That way there's the possibility of tracking down what COUNTRY it originates from.

jasper Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 If I remember correctly, Mitsubishi liked to mount their fuel pumps up high, as seen in the photo. Check the block, and look for stamped logo's on th pulleys, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koyoteracing Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I agree that looks like a early Mitsubishi engine like a early 1970s challenger or truck engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue72 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) Ooh, very good. I just googled "Dodge Colt Engine" and they look nearly exactly the same. Edited January 23, 2011 by blue72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrSideways Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I need some major help here!!! can anyone tell me what year and model this engine is??? i posted pics of it! That would be a Toyota 2-TC. These were used in early 1970's Corollas. What did I win?? Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasper Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) Then this must be the reverse flow headed version....??? Are you SHURE it's a 2TC/3TC??? Edited January 23, 2011 by jasper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hondakid Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 well guys im a be honest with you, i know for a fact it aint a Toyota 2-TC or even 3-TC because we have both engine types in the backyard lol. so im gonna say that Blue72 with the Dodge Colt Engine seems correct! and the Engine is not in the original chassis (no its not boosted) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octane Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) It's a colt engine. It'll have it's engine code stamped on the block/head somewhere. I'm a mitsubishi guy but I can't tell exactly WHAT engine it is since all the 4G3x engines look very similar. I'd put money on it being the 1.6 though.
