lookin for another clubby

guys/gals,
citric and i are really keen to get a 4E-FTE ep82 starlet gt engine into a roundy (i took an ep71 for a test drive on the weekend and i'm dying to feel that boost come on in my mini) what a little machine.. violent is the best i can use to descibe it.. and the ep82 has about 40% more power and is quicker to 100 by 1.5 seconds

so brad if your there i need some info on this guy in NZ

adam and i will go ahead regardless i think and will chalk it up to experience if i piss that money up the wall.. the least we can do is whack it in a clubby if all else fails.. but i want a roundie (more specifically.. my van)

anyone else know of one of these in a roundie?

miniVan,

Mate - let me know how you go - I would also like to drop one of those little beastie motors in the front of my van also.

cheers mate...

project will probably be started over my christmas holidays after i get my gf's car out of my garage (nearly finished)

Hi Minstar here, regarding dropping the G13B in, it is a cinch compared to the 4EFTE engine as is considerably smaller (like a lot). You still need a custom frame but nothing like the 4E. The cost of the halfcut is pretty much as others have said around $2000 (plus freight depending on where you live (me $450!). Then there is the cost of making the subframe. Now if you are doing it yourself like me, costs are negligible (ie cost of welding wire, steel etc). I am about 75% finished on the frame and it has cost me I reckon about $200 to make. To get someone else to make it could be big bucks and take a while. And also G13B halfcuts are as rare as hen's teeth (people say they can get them but I rarely see the end product). Feel free to PM or go to my website!

Haven't really started looking for a g13b yet, but I guess its a matter of how hard you look whether you find one or not. For me the only real option is the g13b so thats the way I will have to put all my efforts. Wouldn't mind having a motorbike powered mini but thats a little bit out of the reach at the moment. Still want a mini engine mini but just as a run about. Thanks for the replies guys. Minstar your mini looks pretty damn tough, should go bloody quick as well.

minstar i thought you were doing the starlet gt?
