Just wondering what would be the best conversion for the car. Information and prices on the engines/work needed would be appreciated. Sorry for the noob question fellas :lol:

G16b.

J20's are cool, but I don't believe it's possible to run one with an engine driven fan. That's a big negative for me.

I have not seen it done. Flexxy doesnt run a clutch fan and the trail tough install kit doesn't use a clutch fan- it uses a single pusher fan. :cry:

really doesn't look like there's room to me.
