Ok, I have a few weird questions. I am doing a turbo MC transplant in to my 4KQ, now... would any RS2 parts fit on a 10v MC1 or MC2 turbo, i.e. RS2 Intake Manifold, RS2 Exhaust Manifold, and a RS2 Turbo, injectors yada yada yada? Anyone know? Ya think it will work on a 10v turbo or only a 20v. And one last thing, has anyone used 034 EFI on their 10v CIS cars. Its i good? hard? worth the differnce? Please input please, so I know where to go, i have a 10v and a 20v lined up, its just the choice of where to go with this. Thanks everyone.

no such luck

Huh, the RS2 engine is a 20vt and as opposed to the 10v engine, the 20v uses a crossflow design, which means that the IM is on one side of the engine while the EM is on the other side....the RS2 injectors would work with 034EFI and 034EFI is a very well designed system...good value for money, as the MC fuel system will max out at about 15 psi of boost...while the 034 will supply fuel for any amount of boost as long as the injectors can provide it...the Rs2 turbo is a good option if you can have it for cheap because the MC1 K26 turbo isn't very efficient above 17 psi (it just becomes a heat pump above that)...
So you can use the RS2 turbo, the injectors and it's about all...however, you can get cheaper injectors than the RS2, especially in the US salvage yards...
There are 4 people that I know of who are using the 034EFI system (Javad Shadzi, Nate Stuart, Marc Swanson and Jim Green) and they all seem very happy with it (well, Javad couldn't be unhappy with it as he designed it :-) )...
If you're going the EFI route, it'd be easier for you to use a 20vt as the wiring is largely simplified and you could use a 2.3l NG ignition system with this, which wouldn't imply that you use the whole 20vt wiring harness which is a mess to install....
If you have any more questions, just ask,

Does anyone know anyone who has done a 20v, how much harder is it?

Poll, Which would you do and why, 10v or 20v?

If I had the money right now and if I were sure that I'd have no legal issues with it, I'd sure do the 20vt conversion but as I have no money and I have 2 spare 10vt blocks, I'll first do the 10vt conversion, using a 8.6:1 CR 10vt block (european MB engine used in the URQ), the NG engine knock sensing ignition system, a MegaSquirt EFI system and a K24 turbo for good low-end response...

20v. Any motor swap is time-consuming, I'd spend the extra time for the extra power.

Sweet!
