GlennMPS Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Hey Guys, ok I have basically got my NA EP91 sitting like a full Glanza V Replica, so it looks fast, but is actually so so slow! Now heres the thing, I want to change the engine, and I know the easy way to go fast is to stick in a 4EFTE... but I would love to be different and put in a bigger NA! Anyone any ideas to suggest on what would be the best NA upgrade? Ta very muchGlenn. Quote
AdamB Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) 4AGE or 3SGE. But no engine will drop straight in unless its an E series motor mate, so expect a little bit of work. Would be good to see a lexus V8 in a shell though Edited March 1, 2013 by AdamB Quote
GlennMPS Posted March 1, 2013 Author Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) haha Lexus V8? you gotta be nuts!! ahhh 4AGE is the 1.6 as in the AE86 etc.? Edited March 1, 2013 by GlennMPS Quote
AdamB Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Yeah thats it mate, also found in the Levin, and probably a few others as well. Contact Morgey on here, he has one in an EP91 Quote
GlennMPS Posted March 1, 2013 Author Posted March 1, 2013 just seen his on youtube on the rolling road! yes thats the engine i have been thinking about... the 1.6 20v out of the Levin BZR with the throttle bodies on it? Quote
daniel_g Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 4age, 3zzge and 3sgte engines have all been put in starlets before. Expect custom / fabrication work for each swap, also splicing looms etc. Someone needs to man up and put a 2jzgte in their boot though haha. Quote
GlennMPS Posted March 1, 2013 Author Posted March 1, 2013 Hii Well Morgey, was it a hard job to fit the 4age? Quote
AdamB Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 . Someone needs to man up and put a 2jzgte in their boot though haha. LOL ! The engine would be in the passenger seat by the time you get a gearbox on it! Even a FWD box won't fit if you mounted it horizontally as the shell isn't wide enough. Quote
morgey Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Well Morgey, was it a hard job to fit the 4age?Put simply, yes lol check out the alternative engine discussion i did a basic write up on whats involved. Have a gander of that and see if its put you off lol Quote
Billy SR Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 5efe from the paseo, a pretty much straight swap. 4/2/1 corolla manifold, corolla inlet manifold, k&n panel filter, exhaust and stripping it out would probably be your best bet in terms of n/a Quote
GlennMPS Posted March 2, 2013 Author Posted March 2, 2013 Wow, just read your post Morgey... its shattered my dreams! I think its out of my reach, seems Toyota isnt like the Vauxhalls i used to muck about with! I like the sound of Billy's suggestion now... Quote
morgey Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Sorry to hear its a shame its not as easy as buy the mounts drop it in do some wiring away you go!But it is the reason i chose to go this route, not many people are going to go to the lengths required so it will always be quite a special little car.

Addymk2 Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 I have a 3SGE out of an Altezza in need of a rebuild if your willing to take on an über manly challenge :-) Quote
Addymk2 Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 http://youtu.be/orw_HMY489AIf it fits in a Tercel I don't see why it shouldn't work in a starlet :-P Quote
rmsnoel Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Glenn a 5efe is a straight swap but they are hard to find now. 5efe starlet will do 130mph and 0-60 in about 8seconds I would get the bolt on stuff for the 4efe and drive her hard then when.she dies all the bits bolt straight onto a 5efeYou could buy a paseo for around £400, swap engines and sell on the paseo Quote
