[Turbdup]

Hey guys im new to this site i have a glanza v starlet and am wanting some info on a blacktop 4age conversion as in will the 6 speed gearbox fit what modifications are needed to fit engine properly any info will be greatly appreciated thanks

You'll struggle to get it to fit with the 6 speed. My 5 speed is hard up agaisnts the inner wing and my crank pulley is half width to get it to fit without cutting the drivers side chassis rail.

Sweet as man thanks for that much appreciated

It is the gearbox side of the engine that needs modifieing ae

[Turbdup]

Engine bay sorry haha

[morgey]

Generally speaking yes. But if you want to try and make the stock driveshafts fit you will have to cut both.

I'm thinking of doing some little mods to engine while its out of the car any ideas of some cheap power gains as I'm just keeping it naturally aspirated at the moment

[morgey]

Nothing really cheap im affraid.

Stuff to do whilst its out would be lightweight flywheel. Most other mods can be done fairly easily in car. I managed to swap my cams out for example.

Some imec trumpets in the plenum maybe.

Manifold etc can all be fitted afterwards

Hey i was just thinking about this with this conversion do i have to do a brake upgrade if so what are some sujestions on this

[morgey]

If you turbo it yes if its n/a not really.

My car has 135whp and weighs 940kgs with fuel and full interior so some ep turbo brakes and decent pad/disc/fluid combo is fine unless you are tracking it.

Upgrades with slight mods are

- st185 celica single pots and some corolla d4d or astra 1.7 tdci discs fit

- ae111 levin/trueno bzr twinpots and above discs

Or the slightly more expensive option if you can find a set you can get direct bolt on kits like

- ksport

- wms

- wilwood

Some of the traders on here sell these brake kits.
