neva before done (i hope)

[capri07]

i posted a thread a while back saying i was fitting a 20v 1.6l toyota levin engine to my capri. did a fair bit of research and found out that the torque and power figures were all different. (low torque,big hp)so i ditched the idea and decided to back to a pinto,bu i got aphone call about a crash damaged car for handy so went to checkm it out nd bought it. i obviosly did all the measuring up and so forth.

 

the engine which is now going into my mk3 capri without a doubt is.........

2.5l 6 cylinder turbo charged r33 nissan skyline engine.

the work has already started on the shell and a lad i work wit is making the mounts for me.its a tight fit but where theres a will theres a way.

 

im hoping to have the car completed for the middle of the summer.

as for santa pod it will hopefully make it there, just bear in mind ill be drivin from county kerry in southern ireland so could be slightly deaf when i get there. (no interior etc.....)

Noice! Can I 'ave a go when yer done?

[Josh_gsy]

my mates skyline went like the mutts nuts! so your capri is going to be a fook load of fun!!!

[TwoLitrePinto]

may i just say, ive been in 1 or 2 skylines, and they r pretty rapid and can be quite nutty, thats gona be insane! i been in a standard skyline GTS single turbo 2.5, and it hit 150 with a fooked coilpack that wudnt let it hit past 4000rpm and i was still pinned in the seat the whole time. thats gona seriously scare someone in a capri!

 

good luck!
