i done it with a mate in his g6 about a year and a half ago. then we removed the swap anf put a 4age 20v in there. custon loom work it the main issue. we had to make our own loom, which we then sold onto a chap who wanted to do the same project in stoke. you might have seen his car on for sale on Ph not long ago: 4efte converted blue tte corolla.

if you're car is a 1.6 then a 20v 4age will be best. this'll also need custom loom work.

finally decided to go forged with my sohc as well. looking to come to you for a tune if the price is right

looks ace mate you shud k20 it

I second that.

Nice man, sort the wheels out though.

Mitch

lol wheels will be refurbed. im currently preping an oem buble kit for the car which will be going on. should go well with the alloys i hope

Cool, i love wire tucked engines they look so clean. You will have to get some more pics up.

no probs...will get more pics up soonish

Have you thought about trying to put your induction kit towards the front of the engine, or make a heat shield for it? cant be sucking in much cold air right next to the exhaust manifold.

nicely spotted mate...it's facing the front at the moment however the pic is out of date. now the whole bay has also been wired tucked etc.

Here's my mate's corolla g6 turbo conversion, that we carried out last November/December time.

After feeling the rush for more power run through his veins, he decided to go buy something like a celica gt-four or anything fast, jap and tubo. However, that would have meant a significant increase in road tax cost, fuel, and insurance as compared to what he was paying currently, and he wasn't quite ready to go down that road yet. What was more, he really loved the e11 g6, so he didn't want to get rid of that either...

So after careful consideration, he came up with this idea: 'why don't I do a conversion in the g6 rolla'

And here is the result, possibly the uk's first 4efte powered e11 corolla:

We did all the work ourselves, including all the loom work, thoughout the chilly winter period. The 6 speed box was kept over the 5 speed, as we found it made better use of the power and felt more torquey. Most parts had to be custom made or altered to fit the corolla's engine bay, such as the turbo down pipe and fmic kit.

Car ran perfectly for about 6 months before the engine when pop! lol But all the same, it was an awesome car which incorporated the style, comfort and practicality of the e11 corolla with the power of a gt turbo.

Please let me know what you think folks!

cheers again:)

P.s. the same car is now 4age powered....

...but that is a different story;)

thanx for the nice comments guys

soory guys for being dumb but what does sleeper mean?

eerr...best way I can put it: ''wolf in sheeps clothing'' if you kno what i mean.

quality sleeper

nice one mate:)

that is amazing man eg and ek are the best civics made the new ones suck there too heavy i had a ep and it sucked(albeit a sport but it handle shit) ive wanted a eg vti for ages but that conversion would be the best thing ever lol good work mate

cheers dave. i can understand what you mean about the newer civics. they're good cars but not my cupa tea either to be frank.

Nice sleeper mate, bet you have shocked a few people lol

lol a few too many to mention I think! let me see now: integra dc2, astra vxr, vw golfs, civic type r's, scoobys, and the list just goes on and on...only problen with the car is traction, but when it gets it it pulls like a train!

flippin hell!!! now that really is mad!!!

Here's something I completed with a friend in april this year. Still some work left on it in terms of the final map-up, engine work and track-prep. Nevertheless, the car runs fine as a daily drive and track weapon on the weekends.

Current spec:

*civic eg5 shell

*full egk20 conversion kit

*k20a2 block + 6 speed gearbox

*Apexi type N1 coilovers

*jdm ITR LCAs

*strut braces (x6)

*H brace

*4-1 exhaust header

*decat

*2.5'' full catback system

*KnN Typhoon Cold Air Intake System

*Hondata K-pro fully programmable ecu

*fully stripped rear

Still to come before next year:

*Custom traction bars

*uprated intake system or ITB setup

*uprated cams & possible headwork

*cusco 2-way lsd or similar

*ACT clutch kit

*R888s or Yokohama Pradas

Car ran a modest 14.1 with oem suspension, 17'' wheels with worn tyres and a stock k20a2 map. Car was also in need of a service and had serious traction problems. Hoping to hit low 13's or even high 12's after all the work has been carried out. It'll probably be around the 250-265bhp power band when all the work's done.

Here are some pics of it before the new suspension setup. Body is tatty but It'll be staying that way until all the tuning is done.

(pre-wire tuck pic, so don't laugh)

So let me know what you guys think of it so far and if you have any questions regarding this conversion then I'll be more than happy to answer them.

cheers:)

Nice civic. I didnt know the d series internals wer that strong.

thanx buddy. on an average condition engines the stock internals can handle 10-11 psi easily, once coupled with some arp headstuds. some even handle more like in the states, but it all depends on who the tuner is...

edited: i wouldnt push anything over 11 psi though on a stock engine.

very nice and very different. i like!

I bet that thing is lethal!I'm impressed!!!(and that takes alot haha)

cheers buddy! well appreciated

very nice mate and a good power figure , whats the spec list mate?

briefly at top of me head:

stock engine

t3/t4 turbo

510cc injectors

3'' d.pipe

2.5'' side exit

tuned on crome pro

Very nice mate, what BHP is it running?

220bhp @ 6-7 psi on low boost. (good enough to kill evos and m3's with though!)

280bhp @ 10-11psi

a little linky to the ek4's little brother

Thought the time was ripe to add another one of my cars to this section, especially after seeing that there are loads of other civics on here .

Well. before I had it, the car belonged to a lady owner, who had only covered 41k over a period of about 14 years. the car was mint mechanically and also body wise. never seen a minter esi around to be honest.

here are some pics:

thanx for looking.

Sleeper, nice

Rather a D series turbo conversion though much more suited to the boost

Some people are running sick power off them

did a d series turbo as well mate, and to be honest, I'd say that the b series is, by far, the better. much more torque anyway, but i have to say, the d series are fast.

i'll post some pics up

maaan those cars are sexy

what dide you do with your old manifold and exhaust?

sorry mate that was sold long time ago.

Nice motor. Are all the internals and gearbox standard??

all the internals and gearbox are standard at the moment. all you need is some arp headstuds and a b16 is good for about 300bhp and more, but all is dependent on the tune. a good tune can yield high power figures, whereas, a bad tune can lead to less power gains and maybe engine failure.
