what do you guys think of the f6a for a conversion? is there a smaller toyota turbo engine than a 4efte? it's just seems general concensus is the build quality of a toyota engine is crazy like my friends have a camery thats done 380000ks still going strong?!

The F6A is out of the Suzuki Cappuccino..think.? 660cc 3-cyl Turbo.. What is it going in Thom? the van? I think it's not worth it for sunch a small motor unless your just after reliability and economy..even then i think a much newer motor would be better..at least a K10A - 1L 4cyl..makes about 100HP - with the option to up the boost when you want power or leave it for economy

would the k10a fit in the mini? or would a 4efte be a better option i just wanted something slightly smaller than the 4efte for installs sake! thinking of putting it in the van or alternately keeping the van stock and buying another roundy donor shell

Go the Daihatsu GZE. Daihatsu is virtually the small engine division of Toyota anyway, and have a deserved reputation for reliability.

Problem i see with the GZE is that it's not very powerful..why go to all that hassle? Paul's gze made 37.9HP on the MDU Dyno and My 1152 made 40HP a fairly stock 1275 would make more power and more torque. The A-series isn't exactly unreliable in that sort of trim, especially enough to consider a transplant. Economy isn't as good, but it ain't bad either. I've also never had a problem with my highly worked 1152. I also think parts would eventually get harder being that Daihatsu are no longer with us..even though toyota carries on the namesake try going to your toyota dealer and getting parts. That's my 2c

i think the f6a would be a good conversion it would be easy and makes more power then the sirion motor i used + with easy external mods like exaust boost even turbo change , it will make as much power as a g13b Im also considering making a frame for this conversion in the future the sirion motor i used isnt too bad although the power isnt high its there straight away and you dont have to rev its tits off to get it going Im still sticking with my clutch pin being too long causing my clutch to slip, i think she had 45hp in her lol just my 2cents

Alas Echo's are twice to three times girlier than a starlet and therefor most people would stay away from them. Personally I would rather see a 13b rota-moke and a SR20 clubbie first They would be FFAASSSTTT

I didn't mean for you to take it the wrong way. I just feel if your going to go the whole effort of a conversion, you'd want a really big headturner. Echo's Aus Spec are pretty poor. and I think they'd be hard to get a 1/2 cut of landed this way. Your welcome to try I'd still like it

Not upset at all, just TIC If you don't think just any modern engine in a 30-40 year old body would be a head-turner....then thats where we can agree to disagree

Have to agree with 9YaTaH - The Echo/Yaris 1.5 looks like a good choice if you don't want a turbo. It should go very well and parts should never be a problem. Conversion looks easier than a 4EFTE as it's more compact and likely to have done less km than the older Suzuki GTi engines.
