why is that parts cost too much - why wopuld they be different to any other jap engine??? the KA's are produced in australian Nisan navara utes - and if i stick forgies in like i would if i wanted hot up any jap engine why would cost more then the sr or fj - the only thing is that it would have more torque - it is already injected and all i gotta do is find a turbo for it
you guys keep telling me stuff that doesnt make sense - there no harder to get parts for then the SR - and i can p0rolly get 9one cheaper any way - im not hel bent on doing this conversion i just dont understand what would be so hard to do If someone can talk to me about i cant see a reason why its possible i mean its not hard to mount them - in fact its easy I dunnno - its starting to seem that just because its not done over here - it seems no on e will entertain it just Thoughts Leighton ----- Original Message ----- From: "E Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, March 07, 2002 9:00 PM Subject: RE: Capacity issue > I agree whole heartedly Tom.
