Austarion

So this is my new plan: rebuild my head with new rotating assembly (I have two heads and combined the best of both parts to get my car running now, but it has bad lifter tick) and start beating the crap out of the car.

[quote="thrash"]does anyone drift their starion?

starion drifter in the US.. unfortunate vid thoughquote]

ouch!

Honestly I'm planning on getting a motor/trans or whatever and making sure it will run well in its stock form. Then I was planning on upgrading stuff. That's why I would either lean towards the SR or 4g; they put out decent numbers stock, and they give me room to expand (along with the ease of findi...

I though that 500 and up counted as "high horsepower", but regardless I can live with 300 or 350. My next problem is sourcing a vr4 and gearbox. I just want to consider all of my options before committing to one set plan. The way I see it, I can either: 1. do a 4g63 swap 2. do a SR20DET sw...

I want to do more drifting and autox with it, and the 2.6 isn't really a high-revving engine from what I hear. Big horsepower doesn't really appeal to me because I still want the car to be streetable.

And thanks for that link. Its sure to help.

I'm starting to piece together a 4g6x swap and really have no idea where to start. I know I want a wideblock, but have no idea what those came in or how to tell if it's wide or not without measuring it. Any tips for what to look for?

what are those engines in? and how much harder would that swap be?

yeah...given that the 240 is the dominant drift car around here. i just really want an engine that is going to be pretty reliable, have parts that are easy to come by and can take some punishment. i'm still open to suggestions and this thread is really more of a way for me to research what i would b...

Apparently not. Performance parts availability for Nissan engines is a lot simpler, and easier to find too. i would not think there would be much difference at all! but anyway im a 4G63 man so im probably fairly bias! i live in the motor city, so its about equal. i actually want to drift it and tal...

so i wanna go through with this swap, but i want to be prepared for it. i was wondering if anyone could tell me how to wire up gauges (tach, speedo) and run the exhaust and fuel lines (they're on the mirror side of the g54b i think?)

thanks

thanks, it'll probably be a longer time then before i start gathering parts and whatnot

bump. cmon guys, i could really use the input

Hey I'm new to this forum but I got a 1987 Starion widebody shell a couple of months ago with plans to build a g54b for it. Seeing as how it's a bare shell (cut harness, no interior, ect.), I began entertaining the idea of doing a RHD and rack and pinion steering conversion on it. I know there are R...
