Turboing Paseo :d

[Mo3]

no i wish but gonna happen in 2 years time just wondering wat i wud have 2 do..im going to get the starlet gt engine (4efte) and smack it in you can pick up the front half of the car for around $2000 from this JDM place close to me so i think the front brakes of the GT i can put on the paseo..i think that would cost close to $600 and im not sure if i have to change the CV joints..also with the 4efte engine it comes with a topmount intercooler want to change that to a front mount..and in order to do that i think i would need a front body kit so it can fit..i think that is all id have to do im not sure please add things to the list

hasnt anyone on here got a 4efte paseo you can talk to?

[riko666]

- you'll need to splice the wiring loom with the Paseos' one

- front brakes are the same as the GT's

- if you re-use your gearbox you won't need to swap driveshafts, use the GT's one and you "may" do

- don't need a new front bumper if you shop properly for an intercooler

[Mo3]

so transmission the same ? and new clutch

[riko666]

No, but it can be used - the Starlet gearbox is far lower geared, and if yours is a C15X gearbox, has thicker gears too. You'll need the 4E-FTE clutch/flywheel

ye they sell the exedy 4e-fte cluthes for like 280 down here, riko have u done dis to your paseo?

[riko666]

I had it done to my Cynos, yes

[Mo3]

so your saying if i buy a 4e-fte engine that comes with the turbos on it is all i need basically no need to swap the transmission?

[riko666]

well if you're getting a front cut then yeah, you just need the engine, loom, ecu, a handy auto electrician, someone to put it into the Paseo, done
