samii Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 looking at doing a conversion into something a bit different in an xf ute, just about to start my apprenticeship now and wanna use my ute as a project until i finish my apprenticeship. i've been thinking about going sr or rb20de/t? and just run full nissan brakes and suspension setup also? not too keen on a v8 as although it's cool, it's fairly common. just want something new and a bit different. any ideas appreciate it, thanks.

Rusted Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Keen in mind that the falcon = 4litres of 6 cylinder goodness. Cubes are your friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizer Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Jag/toyota V12 would be sweet, or a big turbo diesel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjrstar Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 1j turbo's are coming down in price? although big turbo diesel sounds like a pretty cool option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xsspeed Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 ^ would be mean but to get the motor sitting down you need to cut and shut the K-bar thingy (technical name escapes me right now) edit: K frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ogre Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 dirty diesel would be fucken sweet, make the thing a mean cruiser and it wouldnt be mega gay on fuel bill either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testament Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 1hdt out of vx cruiser. 4.2 litres of turbo diesel straight 6 goodness. no way they weigh 500kg! even the falcon motors aren't close to that. my vote: Get a 4.0 SOHC engine with the variable inlet runners out of an EF?, EL or AU XR6, a programmable ECU, upgrade the fuel system, injectors etc. and chuck a truck turbo on it with a suitably large blingtercooler.

RUNAMUCK Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 LD28+T. years ago my dad binned the 351 in his XD ute, and threw in an LD28. He never laid a spanner on it again. Do a plus T on one, and it'd go good too. PLus they run an electronic speedo, so rucs............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike-e Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 This LD28+T spin a screw driver till the black smoke starts, spin other direction till it stops, check exhaust temps are close, profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 xr6 turbo 2/1jz sohc 4.0 falc 2.0 where 4.1 used to live = fail you need something with a bit of torque to get an old lump like a falcon moving. a rb or sr may make more power overall than an old taxi 4.1, but it would be horrible to drive- you would have to give it death to get some boost happening/get the ute moving how fast you wanna go? what are you going to use it for?
