mattyD Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I reckon you going turbo'd civic engine! Any other conversion can be done by a garage near you so why else would you bring it down this way? I remember that guy who had a yellow glanza with the N/A civic lump in, I sold some rear lights to him. He was from Trowbridge ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

littlegreenmonster Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 How long man !!!! I'm getting anxious Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza Mac Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Shouldn't be much longer to be honest :-) Brakes will be getting fitted which I'm rather excited about and I've got some cruise wings ready for paint and some livesport skirta that I've had for over a year which will be getting painted and fitted also :-) Rob.

jimmymac101 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Come on man give us some taster pics or something well excited to see what you have done but I think turbo k20, James Quote Link to post Share on other sites
littlegreenmonster Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 See im gonna guess still a Toyota engine but a bigger one with a turbo 4agte ?? Or one from a Celica possibly ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza-Ben Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I think it's gonna be some vtec turbo in there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Think he said the weight was going to be similar/same so that would put 4age out the equation. 2zzge or b series Honda engine maybe as they are alloy blocks?!Will be cool either way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTobz Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I know what engine as another member on here ruined the surprise. Good luck though, it's a good conversion Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Supercharged 2zz would be a nice idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glanza Mac Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 No supercharger on this build I'm afraid.. Turbo only, can't beat a bit of lag :-P Rob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RobSR Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) 4e's arent unreliable, its just too many idiots get hold of them and cry when they try and double the power on a standard engine thats over 15years old lol. Either way, look forward to seeing what this is From the last post...3sgte? Edited April 3, 2014 by RobSR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Honda. Reliable power... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yaristurbo Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 A block cracking 3s reliable lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza Mac Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) Well my standard engine disintegrated a conrod on less than 1bar of boost on a ct9, 2nd engine was forged and the crank started knocking and spun a bearing but my 3rd engine from TD was great but why chase power and be on the limit of it going bang for another 3-4k bill if it does.. I'll pass :-P, so yeah my times with a 4e havnt been great but not the worst I guessRob Edited April 4, 2014 by Glanza Mac Quote Link to post Share on other sites
