mizlopi Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Just wondered if the mr2 turbo engine will fit in the ep91 starlets?And if it does how hard is it? Quote
Glanza_cl Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 haha if you have about 30k plus then yeah it will fit...there is ALOT if work needed to get it to fit and run smoothly, there are threads on it if you do a search.i would explain more but long story short it's just not worth the hassle to be honest.

mizlopi Posted November 1, 2009 Author Posted November 1, 2009 lol k well i have 1k max so i think ill call that off!! hahajust saw this turbo engine on ebay for 750 low miliage Quote
Glanza_cl Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Hasn't some one on TGTT done it?yeah Dan3sgte has done it, but it has taken years and it still isnt complete.main problem is obviously engine size, then you have gearbox/tamsmition issues.front end grip, what wheels discs to run... the list goes on and on.

micky boy Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 we have had this conversation befor havent we chris i was going to do it then realisedthat i would have had to remortgaged to do it lol Quote
Glanza_cl Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 we have had this conversation befor havent we chris i was going to do it then realisedthat i would have had to remortgaged to do it lol haha indeed, it's definitely not the most financially feasible option lol Quote
RobSR Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 it wont cost as much as some people say it does...I think you could do it for about 4K, and that included a quote i got for a space framed front end Quote
Glanza_cl Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 it wont cost as much as some people say it does...I think you could do it for about 4K, and that included a quote i got for a space framed front end thats a ridiculously cheap price... i spoke to Jules and Luke about it quite a few times and Luke sized it all up, including the space frame front end and came in just short of around 30k... but that did include a full gt4 running gear/ chassis work Quote
RobSR Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Luke wanted/said it would just be alot easier to drop a Glanza shell over an st185..You'd have to be mental to pay 30k lol. I was quoted 2k to build a space framed front to fit any engine.. And that was a CAD designed etc. Fitted/coated.. Then obviously engine/box/shafts/wiring.. 4k may be a little tight, but you could defo get all the major stuff done.. Quote
scot-ish Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 there is a guy near me who has it done, plenty of pics of it aswell, he paid a place in london to do it, believe it cost shy of 15k, and that was a toyota tuning company doing the work,so the 30k quotes,..... rediculous. oh, and it was about 2 years ago i believe, so one of the first to do it, Quote
Glanza_cl Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 hmm perhaps i miss herd the quotations then, i kinda thought to myself that 30k seemed alot lol. but still it's not the most cost effective route by any means Quote

toyotagt Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 We have done one, 10k will cover it.On a side note I never heard such tosh.James Quote
