why the GTI motor ? i would assume the starlet motor would be a better tuner to start with. in saying that i assume it woudl cost less to get going well. I have seen a few turbo gti motors, but the thing is you would have to turbo it... the starlet motor is already turbo and would respond better to intake and exaust mods then the zook motor...
correct me if im wrong..
and i certainly dont want to start chopping chassis rails... sound slike wayyy too much work

If my g/f get's another car, in a few yrs time i'd love to turn my mighty boy into a pure drag car. I'm thinking along the lines of:
G13a SOHC 1.3lt from a swift
5spd from same swift
A turbo, FMIC and so on.
Custom EFI
I reckon it could be built pretty cheaply & put down some good times, based on power to weight ratio.
If it stays as a daily driver, i'll build up the 2nd F8b i have in the shed to be a turbo engine, maybe try and dig up an alto 5spd as well.
Cheers

but either way - theres more aftermarket goodies for the g13b than for the starlet motor.
also what are you basing the intake/exhaust mod theory on????

Starlet motor would be a better choice by leaps and bounds. Cheaper, more powerful, stronger... no comparison!

So many delays to getting my MB back in order with 993cc & 5 speed transaxle... neighbor issue gone, donor shell up on rotisserie, new sheds on the way.... another project also..
