Hey all, I am very interested in doing a VTEC conversion, where did you all buy your parts from? The B series engine should be easy enough to find, but where did you get the subframe conversion kit from? I have found ones in America for about $3000 AUS. |

its a bit pricey but have u seen the zcars vtec kit? its around 5500 pounds i think but it is WELL worth it and a fantastic kit with mid-engined RWD and somethign like 200hp stock!. im basing my design for the 4EFTE off the zcars rear subframe and buying their front subframe. cheers, goffy |

what state are you in?? i know of one VTEC conversion in victoria and he's having a few issues with rego, having to stick to 12" rims and a few other things, but so far i'm not sure any have been rego'd in vic... i could be wrong... i know there should be 2 in aus running around, but most people have eather starlet or swift engines.... i had a look at the VTEC conversion... if you really are set on the idea, try looking at NZ sites... theres a mob making subframes with engineering certs for around 2K in their currency... just an idea.. |

And as far as frames go it looks alright I reckon. Certainly alot of R & D gone into it. |
