This is looking superb! People dont realise how small the 4e/5e engines are till you put them side by side with a B/K/2zz! It isnt a big bay. SPace will soon start to vanish!

Conversion looks great Ash, Mounts look great, like it belongs which is the key!

Hows the driveshaft angles? Sump/Ground Clearance?

Keep us posted!

Manage to mount the engine quite high, so sump sits around same as a 4e, abit of exhaust modifications to fit around gear linkage but pretty straight forward. Drive shafts are equal lengths both sides and sit flat at the current ride height. 

Whilst the motor was out of the car it’s been painted, new sump, seals, belts etc and then fitted

Looks sweet! Like a good GT.

 

What parts are getting rare for these motors?

 

Also, why did you smooth the boot? To what purpose does that solve?

 

Looks great that you did though

4e/5e parts are just getting harder and harder to find as most parts are discontinued, with the Honda stuff I can still get everything oem and new.

flat floor is to future proof an idea I have

Niiiiice, what's the end goal power wise? And what are the mounts like to make?

Power wise will be a healthy 350 and not bad

Interior and bay smoothed and ready for installation also a happy doge

Once getting the car back from dean, I started stripping the car ready for interior and bay paint 

Once the motor was fitted she’s was taken up to dean at raceworks for the following 

manifold.      Intercooler pipework 

screamer     Rocker cover race specd 

exhaust       Flow, return for turbo

Honda swap the world 

b18 vs 5e block 

next Was to find a mb6 Honda which came a game as I was bidding on eBay for this one at first and lost it as went for more than I wanted to pay. After around a month or two it came up for spares as it has no fuel tank and was with another civic, I tried buying just the mb6 as I had no reason to have the other, but after going back and forwards I ended up having both for half the price the mb6 sold on eBay a month before 😂

Since starting the conversion (chucking endless money away) 

the build started with having the starlet motor out and cut mounts 

Hello

so ive owned the starlet for around 6 years and had quite a few different builds since owning the car starting with 

a stock ct9 at 124bhp

tongs ct9 build at 196bhp

forged motor with tongs at 198bhp

hybrid td04 at 275bhp

now since breaking so many engines or gearboxes and parts getting hard to source I thought a change was very needed and started with the Honda b18 build
