Z18ET turbo, Z20, Z22. These crossflow-headed engines are based on the L-series. All install into a 1200 more or less the same way.

Z18 Turbo

The nice thing about the Z18ET is its a factory setup, legal in most Australia states for a 1200. The downside is how available is it, including the wiring harness?

Swap Notes

Z-series is the 2nd generation of the L-series engine. So oil pans and mounting is the same as fitting an L-series engine.

Also see L-series Engine Swap crossmember, sump sections.

Transmission

Z-series uses the same transmissions as the KA-series engines. The bolt pattern is the same as the L-series but the lean is different.

See Transmission section of KA Engine Swap
