hey guys,just thought id throw a very big thank you to everyone for all there help and support over my families ordeal.i can happly say that my wife and kids are all home safe and sound and in good health..my little one is on the road to recovery very well and is doing fantastic..cheer once again!
now lets get back to talking about my sig..hmm since the car hasnt sold im actually thinking of selling the complete engine setup and putting in something a little more punch?? or maybe putting in a bigger turbo,external and more boost?? what do you guys think!
motor wise and depending what my motor & gearbox is worth(any ideas)?? ill either be putting and sr20det,20b rotary,2jz,rb26det or a 6.0L ??

Don't bother with an SR-DET unless you want to be picking bits of valve out of your pistons every time you rev it.
SR-VET on the other hand...
More money (considerably so) but you'll never have to worry about those pissy weaksauce little rocker arms snapping ever again.

Personally, I'd stick with the Astron. More boost, bigger cam, shoot for 400hp

awsome your family is well an rb 26 in a sig would be a weapon and they are tuff and will be difernt to see i no an rb 20 fits not to sure wat ull have to modfy tho

Great to hear they are home and everything on the road to recovery.

Have you seen this Harry?

Put the battery in the boot and you would have room for a turbo behind each headlight

yeh ive heared alot about the sr'doing that kinda thing..im trying to work out if i get a bigger turbo,cam etc it will cost me the same as buying another setup?
i know ive built my motor to handle more power but i really dont know about these astrons being so old and not like these new motors with all the technology?

yeah i was thinking of an rb as there a 2.6, like the sigma! hahah i can leave the side 2.6 badges and no one will ever know it is really different and should work!

cheers jase,hey that 1uz,what car does that come out of originally? its not a very nice looking engine? you know what,ill google it now and see what pops up.

ISK8T, So glad to hear about your little one.
MEGA sigh of relief eh...

As for the sig, go ape on the astron man....

cheers

well i gues ya kno i'm gunna say 20B!!! but then again a turbo or tricked up N/A gena will be nice aswell

Leave the RB's there's to many araound lol, 26's are mad but the chance's off not getting one thats thrashed is in high hope's that means rebuild n blablabla (my mates 32 GTR is like a vl ) if ya still keen for a RB i would be goin for the 30DET set up, bout the same price as the std 26, but u can do much much more with the same cash

also will need to cruz past soon i just needa put the bitch back togeather now as all the part's are sittin there just been a lazy prick atm n i found 1 more toy

hey dave,i know where your coming from but how big are the rb30's in size also compared to the rb26? will it fit in the bay? never thought about the rb30,maybe coz of how much i hate vl turbo..
its the visual aspect along with the power to cash money im looking for! i say that coz the astron has cost me a tonne of cash and only punching so much? i want mega power but at the same time she has to look pretty..
also will need to cruz past soon i just needa put the bitch back togeather now as all the part's are sittin there just been a lazy prick atm n i found 1 more toy

EXELLENT NEWS HARRY!!!!! stick with the astron or go LS1 ,a well sorted astron is a serious engine ,but an LS1 well another story all together in melbourne there plenty of places to do or help , give advice ,either way your a winner family back home daughter recovering and you still have the sig that you put alot of work yourself into,

na not et's 30det's i hate vl's aswell but don't mind the twincams, my mate said the 30 block is a lil taller than the other RB's and is sure the single cam head is a lil taller than the wider twincam but sure they'll fit, a RB30 with a 25/26 head best of both worlds and just with few lil mods, near stockish parts a good aftermaket ecu with injectors you'll be pushing very good power for $$$ only good thing with RB's there cheap power

hey peeps ive gone and done it now..as of today ive pretty much sold my complete engine setup and its going into a import starion..
$3500 is what ive just sold it for considering still needed money owing to some people..my loss is there gain but what do you do!
looks like theres gonna be another project ISKA8,im either thinking of going completly nuts on it or just putting a standard motor in and selling it? still undecided but will cross that bridge when the motor goes..

yeah 1uz that thing, bloody great engine

yeah ive seen alot of the 1uz being used in older toyotas..would be good but i dont really like the look of them.?are they mean to punch out plenty of power?
i really dont know as yet,im in two different minds..ill see what happens after i pull the motor out.
for now still got my ss to finish off then back onto the sig!

1uz is a tuff bit of gear 6 bolt mains forged internals, lots of power to be had

pretty engines are for the autosalon crew, but the 1uz looks pretty to real car people because its beauty is on the inside

1uz capri street car on e85, he drives it to and from the track

Dream would be to see a 8A80 but you will never find one.

I once bid on a V12 BMW engine for the GK .

Another idea - 1GZ - if it fits - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/JDM-Toyota-1 ... 35b626231b

End of the day - as mick said - 1uz is a cheap motor for the power you can get.

4g63 dohc turbo. i know its been done a few times but its just an idea. plus youd be keeping it mitsu. another one would be the 3000gt twin turbo 3.0l v6 though idk how much messing around that would be

my landcruiser could do with some more grunt lol

ok boys its been a while since ive updated on the old siggy..as most of youy guys kno i sold the running gear from the old girl and gave the car to my little brother as a present for his first car..doesnt mean im not going to be taking her out for cruises..lol
the car is currently going under a full re-trim,new engine translplant which consists of 4g54 with custom grind camshaft,ported and shaved heads and hopefully if we can get our hands on a twin carby manifold,it will run twin 40mm carbs..(so if anyone has or knows where there is one let me know)..also giving the car the old school nostalgic look with some cool 15" or 16" wheels which we cant decide just yet?? any ideas and pics with fitment sizes would be much appreciated and then lowering it alot more with a huge camber on the front..thats what my little brother want and thats what ill give him..
anyway i can talk garbage all day so ill catch u guys on the flipside..

good to see the siggy went to a good home still, welcome back

Hey mate which shop did your tuning for your car im at that stage where mine is running but have to find a tuner that wont turn away from a turbo siggy ahaha
