I am writing to see what import motors you would want available in resin for all the popular curbside kits out there? There are plenty of companies, supplying american motors in resin but very few for the import car scene! I would love for there to be more choices of motors to put into the curbside kits! everything cant have civic motors in them! lol
Put in your 2 cents!

well,

B18 RB26DETT and a few others would be nice, but not overpriced, like some of the skyline motors.

Who DOESN'T want a Toyota 4AGE for their AE86 or MR2?

I'd also second the 3S-GTE, and I could use a PRV V6 for my DeLorean :D I have lots of pics of it!

-SR20DET w/choice of S15 six speed transmission or S13/S14 5speed
-20B Cosmo 3 row rotary
-CA18DET (the other DOHC turbo four in S13's)
-4AG multi set, includes MR2 supercharger setup, AE101 five valve cylinder head, AE86 regular cylinder head, and choice of transverse or longitudinal mount transmissions.
-VQ35DE (all those 350Z's and G35's sitting out there with no engines)
-Renesis

That'd be my list, at least for Japanese imports.

Little known fact, there is a fully detailed 3S-GTE in Tamiya Celica GT-Four Kits.

Honda K-Series would be cool, and I wouldnt mind a B18 to recreate my car ;)

4G63 for sure. But i want a late model evo one, so i can build evo 4,5,6,7 and 8, and an early model one so i can build a replica evo 3. How about some kinda RB30DETT?? =D

-VQ30(???) :V6 2003 JGTC Skylines engine. (I don't have Nismo400r skills! :lol: )
-Porsche's flat 6 (for 996)
-Lambo V12 (for the forthcoming Fujimi Murcielago which will certainly be curbside... and Diablo too, from "basic" one to SE30 Jota one...)
-engines for Tamiya Rallye cars (Pug 206, Ford, Subaru, Mitsubishi)

The Revell GTI is supposed to be a 16v, but it comes with a 8v motor.

So there for I would like to see a 2.0l 16v motor. Also a 12v or 24v VR6 would be nice for an engine swap build as would the 1.8T.

Subaru EJ20 !!!! Tamiya, Hasegawa, Fujimi, Aoshima all make curbside Subaru Impreza/Legacy kits...

Anything from BMW (particularily M engines) mostly the 12 cylinder for the late model 7 series. And model of the car to put it in would be nice. Also, a GM 3.8 S/C like in the GTPs.

^ I agree
I think the 4g63 EVO Engine would be nice as we don't have anything simular at the moment.

Any TVR engine (if that's considered an import) would make my day...in-line 6, V8 or the V12.....

good call on the CA18DET also layla's.

RB25 and/or RB20.

I'd buy 90% of the one's already mentioned if they were in production. specifically RB, SR, JZ, VG, VQ, & 4G.

I will most likely start by copying the ones that are already in kits, that we buy in order to strip the motor from the kit! plus some bolt on goodies!

I'd buy at least 1 of each and I'd have no trouble finding uses for them!! Especially the 4G63!
