Parts to put a 3SGTE into a Starlet!



What's everyone's thoughts on that?

[GMan]

It's Only $500 because it is Not done.

" 4WD gearbox (FWD mode) " WTF ?

The "fwd" mode lever is only for dyno testing, never to drive on.
It is possible to switch a 4wd to fwd; If you take it apart. Not easy.

" This is the only 3SGTE EP82 conversion package IN THE WORLD. "

I have seen Plenty of FWD conversions, Tercels, Corollas. Certainly Celicas.
One or two 4wd conversion.

Maybe worth it for the parts, but it is going to take a Lot of work
to finish. At least an MR2 or Camry fwd tranny to start.

Is it ever worth it to take on someone else's project ?

I think he is meaning that his package is the only one that would allow for a 3S-GTE to go into the Starlet.
Obviously, he is probably wrong because I am sure that someone, somewhere has done it... But still... A 3S-GTE powered starlet would be very fun to drive lol...
