18R or 18RG ?

Hey fellas,

Just a little question. Does any of you have experience with the 18rg engine. while looking for a replacement for my aging 12r donk I found an ad for a 18rg, I know a little about the differences and output ratings, but don't know which one's the best to put in my f20. basically, which is the better truck engine?

Cheers Ron

Maaaaate...great engine good horsepower the yamaha twin cam head made a hell of a difference with these motors over the old 18r..plus i've still got a set of twin mikuni 40mm sidedraughts on a manifold that came on one of these...nudge nudge..<GRIN>

The 18RG is a great thing, and very easy to fuel inject as well.
I put one into a celica once and it went hard.

Thanks fellas. Unfortunately the motor is already sold, but I'll find another . Info on the sites is great.

Reviving this old thread

I finally sourced an 18rgeu. Unfortunately without inletmanifold and injection. but i was at a good price

So I'm now thinking of putting efi from a same size 4banger on it. I don't have anything specific in mind but I'd like it to be a multipoint system.

Chucky, what kind of efi do you recommend, considering it has no manifold.

Although I have quite a good understanding of the different EFI systems, I haven't done any EFI install myself. Will something like the EFI system from 2 litre dohc Ford Sierra donk make a good choice?

Any info appreciated

Cheers,
Ron


Edit: or would a MPI be a better/easier way to install
