Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project [Year 3 - Engine and Chassis Rebuild]
TrackCar & F30 330d
What engine is it from? 200sx or skyline or something?
Sunflower Ph1 172
S15 Silvia
As Bren says... SR20DET from an S15. Also come in the S14/S13/Pulsar GTiR etc... all pretty much the same engine bar a few things. S14/S15 versions have VVT usually, and the S15 has bigger injectors/better turbo as standard.

Oh cool, why did you go for a left hooker shell?
CLIO PH1 172
THIS!
Looking forward to seeing this progress
What sort of power are you aiming for?
What sort of power are you aiming for?
Just 240/250hp as the S15 is standard for now...
Plan is to strip down the E30, polybush everything, then get the engine mounted, prop made and running on standard looms/ecu. Doing a cheap November trackday in it then if all is OK with how its mounted il strip the whole thing apart to put a proper cage in over winter, along with aftermarket management and rewire the whole 20yr old looms.
In the future who knows, probably mid to high 300's and try to keep it reliable with a solid power and torque figure. See what happens Im not chasing figures, just going to go for decent drivability.

Heroic. Shame that you couldn't stretch to the RB, but there's always next year.

I'm guessing this is the first of many engine transplants.

RB26 is the only one worth doing really, but its massive work considering there are only a few 'proper' ones ever been done. See what comes of it in the future....
Not just yet!
Although here are a few more pics for anyone interested. Engine and gearbox mounts are finished and its sat under its own weight on Land Rover V8 rubbers
Very solid!
That's going to be awesome

massive respect Mr Fox. I'll have to swing by for a catch up
You are correct, the standard column linkage gives about 2" clearance, I need over 3" for the downpipe. The engine rubber has been mounted higher on the drivers side to give me room for an E36/E46 rack where the pinion is further over, eliminating one of the UJ's from the steering linkage. Its the next thing to be done so I should have enough clearance then..
Different servo and MC to be fitted also, mounted further over, which I would have had to do anyway considering both RHD and LHD cars all have the servo/MC fitted on that side. Lots to work out yet!

worth having a look in here http://www.trackaction-online.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=264 that was one fast E30 with the old 325 engine should be some good tips and the best rack to use maybe the z3 one
Yeah Z3 is usually the choice of most, although finding a LHD Z3 rack in the UK would be a task in itself. I'm thinking of moving the column and using a rack from a different car at the moment.
I've seen that on trackaction before, usually hang around on there, know Steve H from doing track days with them etc. I'm aiming to get this running for their Oulton day on the 4th November considering I've booked it!
