Engine Conversions!

[Nick Arnold]

hi all i have had my lex for a little while now and i love the way it drives and the looks but i really miss my 200sx because of the speed mine was running 380bhp and i was thinking of getting a engine conversion because i heard that is200 cant really cope with more than 250bhp is there any good conversion i can get my friend thinks a m3 engine shoud fit in nicely?

oh and i realise that nearly any thing is possable if you got the money but i didnt really want to get into serious debt.

Most? you mean one.

Theres various swaps mate, but like has been said how much you want to spend.

Theres

3sge (2l NA) from an Altezza then turbo it. (a few in Japan)

3sgte (2L Turbo) from an MR2 then tune it (Yeldarbs in progress)

1GGTE (2L Twin Turbo) from a mkiii supra (what ive gone for)

1JZGTE (2.5L Twin Turbo) from a soarer (Ellz in progress)

2JZGTE (3L Twin turbo) from a Mkiv Supra (monster mats or GSportscars)

Theres a 4L V8 that Marcus is putting in his.

Or there the engine from the Monaro (5L something) that a guy on driftworks has put in his.
