120y is 1200cc engine

it's illegal if u don't register it at jpj, FYI, a lot of ppl say cannot register because 1.2 upgrade to 1.8 or 2.0 is more than 25% cubic capacity set by jpj, but this is totally wrong, i've seen 120y with CA18 and SR20 successfully registered, but the runner fees won't be cheap, prepare RM1300 to 1500 just for the puspakom inspection and jpj registration.

TS, if u have around or more than 6k budget, u can opt for CA18det, budget = or more than 9k go for SR20det, google if u don't know what engines they are.

if u have only 4k then below is doable (GA16de sentra engine + datsun 210 gearbox or other car's gearbox that can fit. i don't know whether they sell halfcuts of the Nissan Serena GA16de in Malaysia or not, if u can find one, then it's a RWD transmission):

if u don't want nissan engine, then the toyota 16valve from the AE86 can fit, it's cheap nowadays but it's very old

if u don't care about FC or maintenance, u can even put in a Mazda B13 Rotary engine, which is MAD!

but most important of all, like vinothrao84 said, make sure you strengthen your chassis first, or else, u'll split your car in half if too much power

this kind of conversions are not hard, u need to have lot's of spare cash, and lots of patience, and the result is very rewarding. You probably can give your 120y to your children and they can still use it as a daily drive after your project is completed

TS disappeared with his 120y already

of course it's illegal, UNTIL JPJ APPROVES THE CONVERSION, and it CAN BE APPROVED because there are so many 120y with SR20det out there that is LEGAL ON THE ROAD and I have seen their car grants by my own eyes. U disagree with me because either you don't have anybody around with this kind of LEGAL conversions or you WANT to do this kind of mod but failed the JPJ registration due to the fact that your runner is rubbish doing his job

CA18det of course is out of production, but if u know where to find parts they still got a lot of it, this includes 4age 16valve, and they ARE CHEAP if u know where to look, just like CA18det, many ppl already discarded them and focus on newer engines like the blacktop and SR series

so why are u "dreaming" to get a wira? that's like saying u are "dreaming" to get Syphilis or AIDS or any kind of disease.

keep the datsun, keep the engine, uprade the brakes and chassis, get rid of the rusty parts, recond the interior and u'll have a sweet ride, much sweeter than the wira.

use the datsun until the ori engine becomes very problematic (which I think is highly unlikely, it probably will out live u if u take care of it). Then u can decide whether to change car or change engine
