Vintage Grumble Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 For it to be worth it, you would have to use a K20A2, but then they would be a pain in the ass due to their hight/price/FWDness. Would be better off going SR20DET for that kind of money. Pretty much set on a 4agte tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Just turbo the smallport man! no need for for ze pistons if its a good engine. unless you want to get a little silly with the boost or need to rebuild. The old high compression smallport in my trueno with 10psi boost. was way quicker than my starlet. so same engine in a starlet would be pretty ruthless. spend the money on a nice turbo setup, well built manifold. 3" exhaust etc... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truenotch Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 What kpr said. I also might be able to help with J160 and adapter... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 And the T series will be fine if you don't have mega grip. You'll struggle to kill it on gravel or with semi slicks and basic suspension. Our just give me a car. I'll take either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 It may be cheaper to change the diff than try find another early T series LSD head tho. Jeff/Dirk have an early lux diff, so its the skinny one, and I already have an LSD head for said housing, so maybe that would be the way to go? The only down side is the big ass drums I guess.

Truenotch Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 You'd want to convert to disc rear end if you do go hilux and there's nothing wrong with a locker. The T series will last for ages provided you don't launch/dump the clutch like a maniac. So Keltik isn't allowed to drive it. I have a spare J160 and a broken one for experimentation and modification. The niteparts adapter needs the be milled down to work with a 4AGE. PM me. Remember not to overcomplicate this build of you want it done in less than 7 years... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 launch/dump the clutch like a maniac. ^ this is how you drive a kp starlet. rn25 is what you want if going hilux, 1360mm vs kp 1345mm, bit of a rarity and the axles look horrible haha. you can shorten pretty much any hilux around 15mm a side with an axle trim. locker or irs aftermarket 2 way. hilux lsd's are worse than open diffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Wasn't there a hilux diff with offset head so you only had to shorten one side to make it fit as well? That would be a cool option... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
