Spencer Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Skip the RB and 3sgte, all depends on what you can afford and how much you can do yourself. I'd roll a 5k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 generally when you want to do an engine conversion you know what engine you want, id suggest at the very least, take a bunch of cars with those sorta engines in for a drive and see how the behave in factory conditions. see what you like. and then talk to a cert man to make sure you get it legit right from the very beginning.

Brennan Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Depends if you are up to cutting the fire wall and gearbox tunnel up. Or paying somebody to. As all of your suggestions would require this. If it must be turbo (can't see why personally) I would be looking at a turbo 4agze. Or with a bit more work a celica/caldina 3sgte? Which if it is anything like putting a altezza 3sge into my ke70. Isn't easy, quick or cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHGWAG Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 In all seriousness, this would go well with a silver or black top 4A-GE in it. How far do you really want to go? Are you dead set on going turbo? Are you planning on doing the conversion yourself or paying someone to do it? What is the intended use of the vehicle? It's probably best that you sit down and decide what you want from the car before making a decision on what engine to use. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 small car small engine i say. unless you are going to mid mount it and rest your favorite pie on the cam cover, only an arms reach away. 4age might sound boring, but it ticks the boxes. ok upgrade if keep it na. with the potential for good cheap power with a +t. or rebuild with ze pistons and you got yourself a damn solid bottom end, for factory parts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 ^ Sound advice, I'm still going to say 5K with carbs, zaust and a 3/4 race cam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk2 hunting Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 nah doesnt have to be turbo not a must have about 8-9k and even just a plain 3sge beams looking for reliabilty with power just good alrounder not carbied as live out of town gets cold and dont want to adjust etc an altezza power I think would be perfect but can go more if cheap enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 hunting Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 also tunnel already done as it was rolling body and previous owner was going to rotary it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrstar Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 You seem to list a couple of 2 litre 4 cylinder turbo engines but missed out 4G63T, which I believe is a far better option than a 3S or SR. if you want it to sound cool go for a 1ggte /but don't because they are hard to find good bits for.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not the answer is either Beams 3SGE, SR20DE or 4AGE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Hayabusa engine would be fairly easy you can buy driveshaft flanges that bolt on in place of sprocket then you get a sequential box as a added bonus. and 3-400 hp if you go turbo just chucking it in as interesting option. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
