By the looks of it, I guess it'll be darn pain in the arse to do it!
Kudos to them for having done the quite "impossible"!!

Hmmm.. K-series conversion has been done, the B-series conversion has also been done..
Hmm... How abt a 13B in a Fit?? :p

Thats my ultimate fantasy!!

Only problem is that B-series engines cannot legally be fitted here in Oz.

Looks pretty nice though

Lol talk about the 'mod prospects of the jazz'. I guess it is possible if you really wanted to and had the money.

Why can't it be legally be fitted in Oz. There's been many crazy conversion in Oz and they're driving on the streets eg. H22a EK civic :honda:

engine cannot be older then the chassie itself, b series engine are older den jazz so it cannot be fitted legally unless you have a shifty engineer to write you a cert or something

the 2j is still a current motor though. was in supras until 98. I guess it would be borderline on how old the IS200's are, that would be a cool mod though.

From what I am aware of...You can fit an older engine into a new chassis. You just have to do an emissions test for the year which the chassis was built. I passed with RTA (NSW) with my engine conversion.

Not in Victoria.

Hard to get all the paperwork done....

thought supras came out until the end with 2j's, they went until 2002 or 2001... & you cant import the newer supras because they dont pass the emissions test...

But compared to putting in a K20 in this is taking a step back.

:thumbsup: for the effort

Is that a B16 or B18 engine in it? Correct if i`m totally wrong, the newer K-series are much smaller in size and lighter in weight...why dont just throw in the K-series instead of the B-series?
Anyways, the conversion is pretty darn neat I would say! Kudos for their experiment & effort! :thumbsup:

Any one know roughly how much the overall conversion would cost?? Like the B18C engine, labour, other matching upgrades to meet Eng Cert, Eng Cert and etc? Is 10K enough??
yourfather

What they are saying is that it is almost impossible to do because you are not allowed to install an older engine than the build year of the chassis.

lovesil, not sure where you are from but it can't be done in Australia as yourfather said.

K20 coversions are in the region of $20k. Theoretically a B-Series would be slightly cheaper as the engine itself would cost considerably less than a DC5R engine

i'm in syd! So, it's not doable because of newer chassic mixed with older engine issue?? But didn't someone else said it's doable?? i'm confused.

And you sure the K20 conversion is around 20K?? that's alot!

look man, we've told you three times, its not really legal.

But if there's a will there's a way.

Of course it's do-able if you have the cash you can do it. But, still it's a 20K outlay for a K20A. Maybe 16-17K for a B18C.

Lotta money riding on someone to stamp a form for you.

if you wanna do it, good luck, hope you get it done, but,
unless you have some serious weight, or know someone special that can get the paperwork done. It's a waste of your time.

dont forget all the conversion done so far where overseas... none have been done in aus to my recollection... & for your info it is doable, theres been a fair few which has been done... but as i said before, all have been done overseas... & apparently i've heard that they are going to sell the mugen k20 fit in HK... but for a crazy amount of money :S & it wont be road legal, just for track...

anythings doable, whether it's legal or not, it's a different story.

look at the size of the engine bay in a jazz

it's really hard for a mechanic to work on it. plus for a k20 conversion, you need to cut the firewall and there's alotta parts you need to replace as well

20k is about right, depending on the mechanic, you might get charged more.

doesnt matter what cert you have, it doesn't change the fact it's illegal to have an engine older than the chasis
