Sam_Q Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 if your going to do a conversion like that go for a "holden" 3.8L V6, they fit without too much dramas. Getting a manual is a bit hard though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightojnr Posted September 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 yeh fair enough, they have more power to don't they? damn then i can't put a nismO sticker on it :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam_Q Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 better check the club rules though so your not put into a class that makes you at the back of the pack every time. If that means just a normal 4age ocnversion then so be it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightojnr Posted September 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 yeh, i dnt want this car to be competetive in class, i want it to be fast and fun, i got the hq for that. how much stuffing around will it be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam_Q Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 sorry no idea, if your a member of toymods there is a club racer that they are putting the same engine into an old celica. You can ask them about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philbey Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 It will be a lot of stuffing around, I'd say at a punt mounts, xmember, tunnel chop, bigger diff, custom tailshaft, etc etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickZ Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Do a little searching on the site and youll find all the information you ever need on the conversion. Ive done one myself and have thread on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
