hey guys, just want to know if anyone has done this before and how?
I can get all the bell housing and what not, just not sure about width and hiegh. also clearance from solid axle. Any light shed would be good. cheers

True but i,ve got an sr20det already converted in a sedan which the body is stuffed. So the motor, wiring and that is sweet and this motor ran 12's in a nissan sedan down the 1/4 mile. So heaps of grunt.

sr would have fark all touque n power off boost, no good for pushing big tires n what not...
But if ya want it for a street car, do it.. just chuck the nissan box to match behind it, just means no more 4x4

power and torque, 2 different things, it would go ok, if its runining a 12 you can forget it in a hilux though, for the sr20 to run a mid 12, youve had a pretty serious turbo upgrade meaning probly over 50% of your rev range is off boost (until the turbo spools), also meaning you have next to no torque off boost.
All in all a stockish sr would be fun in a lux, i dont know what bellhousing you would use to put it in a hilux though, without making one or costing you thousands deeming the conversion over budget for what you get.
PS, 3rzfte = more fun.

yeah i,ve got a ball bearing t28 on 14 psi. At the moment it is set up with a lot taller gearing than standard and it spools faily early. Around 1500-2000. the car weighs around 1350 kgs and ran less than 2 sec 60 ft times, which means it pisses off in a hurry. The gearing in the lux with 33's would be so close to the load it has now under power that i think it would be sweet as. Well a million times better than a glorafied boat anchor of a 4y i got. I mean a lexus 8 would be my ultimate choice but a house soon smashes that idea. Just seein if i can make good with what i got i spose.
