Gentlemen, for those people out there who have seen the 4EFTE , G13B or any other unusual registerable combinations could you please post some photo's of the engine bays. It would be greatly appreciated, especially the G13B, actually just any of them. :)
Thanks
Pete

Sorry, it just amazes me the lack photo evidence available for these larger capacity mighty boys??? Quite a few people seem to have viewed a G13B conversions yet no one ever takes a photo :?

PS Love the CB 70/80 such a massive shame that spares are almost impossible... :cry:

I've only ever seen one G13BA conversion, and the owner was very secretive about the details. Never seen/heard of a G13B conversion, mostly because the modifications required to install it make engineering difficult.

If you modify the chassis rails the car is a write off. To get starlet motor in requires mods to them.

That's strange billi I dropped mine in yesterday with no chassis mods! I just strengthened the chassis in certain areas to avoid twisting! However the original chassis was not touched! I suggest you research a little more thoroughly before you jump to falsified conclusions

When it's complete I will post a photo of the engine, however don't really want to show much as I'd prefer keeping my cards close to my chest. Looking at getting down to heathcote in the next 3-4 weeks. I'll post the video.

Tez I've already asked for as much info/photos as he is willing to provide so I can do a feature article for the front page of the website. :)

Honestly I'm surprised that any 4 cylinder motor will fit without having to cut into the chassis rails, however the Starlet does have a smaller gearbox than most similar cars.

My 660cc four cylinder just fits, it has a smaller box than a mb. I'v measured n/a and turbo starlet motors,both too large. Either way my 660 will handle 10x better without a anchore up front :)

I still dont believe he just droped it in, i have seen one in person, both rails had to be cut. I think i have a pic but not sure if owner wants them going around.

It's not just a hate thing. I think it's more or an envious-jealousy. For a few reasons. A) these people don't have the mental capacity or a creative bone in their body to pull a real conversion off. B) they don't have the money to bank roll such a conversion. It's pretty obvious, cos if you read through the threads it's the same dead beats that criticize what someone is trying to do. :zzz:

Skill? you are paying someone to do it, no skill there. Jeleous? Only mb i am jelous of is Braydens, best looking mighty boy going around. Until there are pics, no one will believe. Mainly because the engine doesnt fit between the rails.
