rinseep82 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Save your money and buy a skyline Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pauly ep82 Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 skyline just wouldnt be the same money isnt a problem as ima keep it and just keep building, i just need to know which engine would be worth putting in to give me the end performance that im after Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DevonGT Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Probably a 3S-GTE. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calum122 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Is there even enough room to fit an engine that powerful? Jeez. If it were me. Now everyone will hate for me saying this but I'd go K20 turbo. Personally. They do a K20 stock engine that puts out 260 bhp WITHOUT A TURBO (Honda's S2000). So boosted alone you're looking at 330+ bhp. With porting, head work, ignition, fueling then 400+. Then it's just fck off turbos a severe tuning. I know my favourite super car in the world runs the K20 Turbo. I say super car by that I mean a supped up normal car. My favourite, the gorgeous, GT1 Turbo But that's just me. I think they got that to just Shy of 600 bhp. Can't remember. But he died before he finished tuning it :/ I love this car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pauly ep82 Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 thanks would the sr 20 work or is it alot of hassle? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calum122 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 For me that is just pure car porn lmao. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pauly ep82 Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 the k 20 looks like a nice power unit ive always liked the s2k Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calum122 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 The good thing about those engines is that they really are over engineered. So naturally they're prone to tuning. There is also a big community out there and it's a VERY COMMON engine so parts will be relatively cheap and still able to come by in years to come. The only limitations are going to be its displacement of the 2.0 litre. Naturally the Skyline has a bigger engine or the Supras but will they fit in the bonnet? I don't even think this would. But I reckon a K20 would be a nice way to go. They're a power house stock putting out twice the bhp than a Starlet without a need of a turbo, just the extra 700cc's. And Honda have that famous old reliability going for them so you know they will take a battering. Much like most Jap cars. But just saying about this one in particular. Any roads I'd be well interested in seeing a build for that Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daniel_g Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 The Honda S2000 uses a F20C engine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calum122 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Rb26dett in the boot?Nice block. But they are HUGE. Be a shame to butcher the chassis but yeah there is always that. It wouldn't really be a starlet after he's finished with it though really.The Honda S2000 uses a F20C engine.Aww what really? I thought the Civic, Integra and S2000 all used the K20's. That's a shame but yeah what he said lol. That said though K20's are still solid engines. 200 bhp stock N/A Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I cant imagine its gonna be that driveable.christ. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kirkyyb36 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Very true, the back seats would need ripped out for a straight 6 setup.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pauly ep82 Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 i imagine itll be ok to driveive seen a vid of a guy with a 1000bhp mitsibushi colt (the one similar age to the starlet) and it seemed to drive fine on 4wd plus ill have the rear steering axle which will help Quote Link to post Share on other sites

5e colin Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 just slap another 4efte in the back and tune them to 300/350 ( both ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calum122 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 just slap another 4efte in the back and tune them to 300/350 ( both ) THIS! Actually achievable with 300 bhp engines. Again wouldn't be very good though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza Mac Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Check out my preject thread, plans are for 500-700bhp in my starlet Rob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richglanzav Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 it would either explode or bend the car in half when it came on boost in my opinion lol but if your honestly serious theres defo only two engines even worth considering for this kind of power and size of chassis. either a 3sgte or a k20 as much as i love toyota for 700odd bhp the hondas just the natural choice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
