DAT510 Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 After seeing a couple pages of FJ20.... i am now convinced. FJ20DET. FTW! Quote Link to comment
The Stig Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Well from that angle....... its clearly from a DR30 it has the longer intake plenum DAT16V called it .......even from that oblique angle. I love that colour on your dime, one of my 521 was originally that colour Quote Link to comment
jdmdime Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 You guys should check out the build pictures my fabricator is posting. Its on facebook.com search for sinister designs inc. Quote Link to comment
610SSS Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Any chance of some pictures of the tranny? That one is a B type not used here after '86.5 Wondering if the bell bolt pattern is the same as the SR or the KA or different from both. Bit late :lol: Quote Link to comment
josh_t Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 is that valve cover magnesium? The white corrosion seems to make me believe that. Quote Link to comment
610SSS Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Think this is a old fj20 t3. Quote Link to comment
medengines Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Anybody know where to get a distributor for a FJ? I am trying to build up a motor and need a few more items: Distributor camshafts..or a known cam grinder that can set um up in the U.S.? I'm worried about the lash caps on the valves! plug wires with grommets..or a match from another motor maybe? I have 2 motors..one that is pretty complete with everything less the correct dizzy..the one i have looks to be a A series maybe? its got a vacuum advance diaphram and mechanical, dizzy is in pretty bad shape. The other motor was pretty rough, complete but spun rod bearings..thrust journal was bad. So I had the crank reground and repaired at Standard Crankshafts in NC. it looks brand new now! Would like to upgrade the cams and springs but sourcing this stuff is pretty hard. Heard alot of guys using stock internals with good results so i'll probably do just that for awhile. Also these were left overs from Aussie and Japan racers that came to Guam in the late 80's early 90's, so both are NA models they used in offroad railcars. The good one was practically brand new inside! it looked like a very low mileage motor or maybe a spare that just sat there! Luckily only 1 bore had some pretty good rust in it..i honed all cylinders and they look good and in spec, might just rering it and let it go! with the same bearings and all! we'll see. Compared the KA24e rings i have and i'll be damned they are a match! I might do a blowthru combo with this too! i have a Offy intake from a chevy Vega 4 banger and the port spacing is nearly identical..so i may tig weld a intake flange to this and walla a custom 4 barrel intake for a FJ20..beginning stages..of a loong awaited combo so i'm very excited about learning this motor. It looks to be one tough ass motor and the valve cover and head width alone are a very intimadating item, i love it! I just received a "Tall" model valve cover and it is even badder looking now. Can't wait to get this going! Quote Link to comment
