Cost = Huge - due to you need to re do the entire floor pan
As well as source the parts - cheaper alternative - upgrade to an AWD!!

aww but what if your sentimental and get attatched to your car and dont like the front of the TJ. what if you had like 10 to 15 grand. could that do it.
not that i do. but like someone else has said on here as long as you have the moeny you can do anythng
wouldnt that be good though an AWD with a mivec engine very nice

What model do you have? You could just buy a TJ AWD.
Magna23

TF. but with AWD no more wheel spin and even if you have a front wheel drive sometimes gettin those wheels to spin is fun, although the traction of AWD would be nice

for 10-15 K - i would upgrade to teh AWD then just replace the front grill and bonnet with a TH model - just to lose the beak nose - cos the rear endon a TJ is sweeter - but yeah - thats how i would go!!

You wouldnt be able to do it with 10-15 grand.
Dont bother, just buy a TJ awd.
If you really like the TF look...just buy a TF Bonnet and grille ;)

interesting theory. i use to like the tj rear lights but i am partial to the the tf ones since thats what i got. id probaly swap em for the KH verada ones for a bit of class. Does anyone here have a mivec powered magna or know a website with info about it

Not a mivec magna..
But the Diamante 30M came out with a DOHC 24v 6G72 3.0l MIVEC V6
182kW, not sure of the torque figure.
It will bolt into a TE+

Not far off a Ralliart!
That's 333nm isnt it?

182 not bad what about that one on rpw website if you have seen it it says its 200kw.
Magna23
09-01-2004, 02:42 PM
so if you got that mivec engine with 182 with exhuast extractors and other mods is it possible to get like 220KW out of it then.
Killbilly
09-01-2004, 02:45 PM
mivec with extractors, good exhaust etc will prolly see you at the 190 mark.
Im not sure how the intakes are set up on them, if they're still the same as an ordinary sohc 24v 6G72 then you could run a double tb system and if you used haltech E11 to run it all, or a greddy emanage (I dunno how they go with variable valve timing though? Ask Dave@RPW) you'd get the 200+ mark for sure
Magna23
09-01-2004, 02:49 PM
i think that is my dream to get a mivec put it in a magna and then do heaps of work on it to extract every last KW out of it then go LS1 hunting
Magna23
09-01-2004, 02:51 PM
just another after thought. can you get upgrades for like cams and all that stuff for the mivec.
Killbilly
09-01-2004, 02:51 PM
RPW has a motor for 6k.
No ecu though I dont think.
An E11 would be setting you back about 2k, prolly another 1k in fitting and tuning.
So you'd be looking at close to 10k just for that.
You could pour 10k into the motor you have now (if it's a sohc 24v) and have 200kW+
Not to discourage your idea, but just giving you an idea of what alternatives you have.
The MIVEC would be an awesome conversion.

lol I wouldnt give me too much credit ;)
I am after all stuffing a dohc 24v non mivec into my car soon lol
Magna23
09-01-2004, 03:26 PM
what what what non mivec your crazy youll have to get a texta and write mivec on it..... whats the engine worth both in price and power t by the ways
Killbilly
09-01-2004, 03:43 PM
non mivec wont go in my car
I have a TR 93 model.
mivec is the same way around as a sohc 24v 6G72
the non mivec is the same way around as the sohc 12v 6G72.
Besides, there's 20kW difference between the non mivec and the mivec. Something that can be made up easily.
Well RPW has a mivec for 6k no ecu (that I know of)
the non mivec you'll see them on ebay for about 800-1500 us
I scored mine for 650 bucks australian.

very good. Um did the us market get the mivec engine that fits in the 3rd gen magnas. or do the us hae those engines over there. for sale
Killbilly

well maybe you could come over to sydney and try and run over me. or maybe id just kick your osama binladen arse back to "closed due to lack of interest" adelaide. thats funny to about the rugby teams, as far as i can remember nz just kicked autralias arse in the rugby leauge and the union. ooouch! and they just finished smacking indias arse in the cricket who just retained their trophy of oz, and they get better cars for half the price.geez mate you aint having much luck

i dont follow rugby anyway im from SA. But as far as i can remember in the world cup australia made the final against Eng further then NZ and who won the world cup of cricket AUs against India. India retained the trophy cuz it was a draw they still didt win the series. Give the australian cricketers a break its hard being as good as they are.
