Hundreds of jap import engine specs!

Below is a list of Japanese engines that you might be able to pick up cheap and use for an engine conversion. They are alphabetically ordered by manufacturer. The engines are then ordered by size within each manufactuer. A few notes; * Japanese engines run on Japanese fuel which hovers around the 100octane mark. Therefore they are usually higher compression and higher performance than their Aust/US counterparts. If you use a jap motor, expect to have to run it on BP 98 octane fuel, or at least PULP. * The japanese car manufacturers and government have a strange self enforced voluntary power limit on their engines. They all limit the max power of their production engines to 206kW/276HP/280PS. So when you see an engine listed with about 206kW, chances are it either has more than that, or is limited by the ECU to produce only that figure. Some people say that some of the new jap cars such as the STi 22B actually has more than it's claimed 276HP, closer to about 350HP. It is certainly possible to get a stock GTR motor to hit the 350HP mark with a simple ECU chip upgrade which get's around the stock limit by running the engine harder the whole way through the rev range. You can tell which engines are really ECU limited, by looking at the peak torque figures. If it's strangely low in the rev range, then it is being restricted somehow. A good example is the Mitsubishi 6G72 twin turbo, reaching a huge 426Nm at only 2500rpm. There is a rumour that the 206kW limit will soon be relaxed, it will be good to watch the power war if it is. * Jap cars are also limited to 180kph max speed, these can also usually be gotten around one way or another. Post any engines that aren't here, and I will add them to the list. Conversions; kW x 1.341022 = HP Nm x 0.737561 = ft.lbs References; (1) www.carview.co.jp (2) zoom magazine - killer conversions special (3) various japanese car manufacturer websites.
