Though the NA FJ was a 4 cylinder that put out only 25 hp less than a S20.

I thought the LZ was the first true dual cam engine that OS giken and Nissan produced together one year before the FJ came out? Doesn't the S20 share a relation to the LZ???????
Well anyway's assuming that the FJ's are still abundant in Australia, it appears that I will be looking long and hard for an Australian importer of this engine, and hopefully can get it cheaper than an sr20det......
Wanted a KA with a fully counter weighed crank but thats not going to happen any time soon and the FJ20et looks like the next best thing (indestructable cast iron block, forged internals, and a fully counterweighed crank, with a bucket valve train achievable of a 9000 rpm REDLINE.........
Looking at the wiring and engine setup I could run a stock CA18det ecu and run it on individual coils, or get it wired for Biki. Rod stroke ratio's as well as cam durations are all consistent with that of the CA and KA engines.
Oh well it's still all up in the air, but still a nice thought. Just sucks I see alot of dimequarterly dudes out here at the shasta meets with FJ20et's in the 510's, but none in 240sx's.
