FJ20 build help
Posted: 17 Mar 2024 10:13
Hi
Just picked up a FJ20ET and plan to install into my 510. I am in the San Francisco area so I will have Rebello do the rebuild. Has anyone tried installing beehive or conical valve springs in a FJ head to lighten the valvetrain? I can spec a cam for a Chevy or L series Datsun but the twin cam setup has me stumped as far as trying to figure out the specs on the limited cams available. I know the FJ20 is a robust engine but any tips for a turbo engine that I would like build with a little more power(100 to 200 HP) than stock. Also does anyone know the process and parts required to convert to a external oil pump wet or dry. I tried at FJ20.com but their forum is kind of dry of users. Thanks for any help.
