What to transplant into old school starlet?

[streatracer]

Any ideas on good transplants for the old starlets? iv seen heaps of 4age swaps but iv only seen the 16 valve blue and red tops would a 20v be any harder to fit?

a 2k turbo

My mate is currently dropping a warm 308 and 5spd into his bugeye 2dr, its' going to be a road-legal setup too. Should be good for low 13s, high 12s, with the size of the rubber he's aiming to put on the back!

Seriously though, the choice is yours, and only limited by budget. If you just want to spend a few hundred (taking into account you can do minor work yoself) then I'd suggest a worked 4K or 5K, they can be made to go hard, and would simply bolt up.

If you're looking for more HP, the cost is just going to rocket, as any more HP than the above, and you'd need to be looking at getting a rear end to handle the power.. as well as brakes, etc. Any 4AGE is an easy swap, gotta mess round with the dizzy location etc if you're looking to 20V it, which can be a pain, probably necessitating the installation of a tuneable ECU..

If you don't mind rotaries, an early 12A would be a simple conversion, you can buy mount kits for it, as lots of people have done this before. The good thing about going with an early 12A, is that being carb, you won't need to bother with engine management, etc, and the 4-ports start with around 130hp, which is slightly more than an early bluetop 4age, which would be a lot of fun in a wee KP!

But if you want to be "different", the sky is the limit with engine choice, I've seen everything from 308's, 350 chevs, 13B turbos, to B16A vtec motors installed into KP60's.. just have a think about what you want to achieve, do some research (perhaps have a peruse through club-k) and get some idea of what each would cost.. and go from there!

don't bother putting a 20v in, redtop will be cheaper, easier and perform just as well (the 20v dizzy causes hassles)


but honestly a 12a rotary is the ticket
cheap, not that hard, and dam powerful (plus chicks orgasm over the noise they make)

20v would only be an issue if your to lazy to recess the dizzy into the firewall. it's not like he's gonna do the conversion with no other fabrication.

2JZGTE. and i have measured. the engine is the same length as radiator support to firewall. and mount radiator behind grill. easy as. and with a 6spd would be good

you are all failing.... please pay attetion. The only conversion option for k series is to replace the K with an M... are you paying attention??

Follow my lead and drop a 5m-ge into a dx, one w50 and a liteace dual track rear end later and you've got yourself some serious straight line speed!

Stay tuned for pictures!

pfffft yeah right

power-to-weight!

SR20DET or 12AT/13BT if forced induction (what does a 3sgte weigh in rwd form?)

or 12A/13B bridgeport/p-port if NA

pfffft yeah right

Haha What A Die Hard. Like anything A series would ever be in the same class as an M series. M Series is far superior if they wern't you would have an A series 85 supra not an M series oh my god it would be like owning an original AA63 1200kg Brick powered by a Blue Top 4AGE.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA god what a peice.

LOW_AA is right imagine a big block 6 cylinder old school engine in one of the lightest cars Toyota ever made it would be perfect.

you may want to read what i posted again, i never said anything about A series, i said rotary

i don't see the point in having to hack holes in a starlets firewall/tunnel to fit an M series non-turbo

i can think of so many better engines it scares me
