GQ Engine conversion Qs
GQ Engine conversion Qs
I'm currently contemplating buying a GQ SWB, ditching the 4.2L petrol and replacing it with a RB30 turbo engine of some sorts as I'm got plenty of spares from my boy ricer days . The questions i have, are the wagon RB30 parts interchangable to the swb ie. cross members, gearboxes etc. Obviously a new tail shaft will be needed, but thats no biggy. Also with regards to the fuel tank, will one from an EFI 4.2L bolt up?
Q
yep everything is interchangable, as in everything from a 3.0L GQ will bolt into a shorty. You really only need engine/box/crossmember. Your diffs will be too tall (ratio) but can live with it if turboed. I turboed my LWB rb30 and hope to do the same conversion to my SWB but the TB just wont die. Leave the fuel tank thats in it and get a small surge tank under the car you kind of want one in a fourby anyway. You wont be dissapointed doing this to your shorty. I got all the wiring diagrams for splicing the two looms if you need them.
