[madkp61]

welcome mate.

 

How much money you got?

how much can you do yourself?

what you want to use the car for?

 

That is the difference between a 5k conversion, and a twin turbo LS1.

hmmm thats a FWD 1.6L 4afe.

 

its pretty simliar to a FWD 1.6L 4age (VERY popular conversion in ke70), cept the 4afe has the distributer out the back of the engine, I'm not sure there is an easy solution to this.

So would it not be worth doing it? Or would it be to hard

If you were going down that route it would be a far better idea to go for a 4AGE.

I do recall seeing someone on here who had converted a 4afe to RWD.

 

it was a ke20 wagon i think, possibly some guy called "Greenmac"?

this guy seems to be pretty helpful engine mount and pedal box wise ;)

So would it be worth doing? And has anyone else done it before if so could you give me a link to a build thread. Thanks

waste of time putting a 4afe in it. Yeah there cheap but the amount of time and money to get it going you could have put someting else in there with a much better end result.

 

Sooo many other engine options available. If its a rwd car, start with a rwd engine.
