    ^^^^

    The single cam SOHC (that can be converted to DOHC) convertion is simple and it fits, there is also a 2.4 single cam engine that came off a L300 that bolts to the starion gearbox(although the twin cam head doesn't), twin cam is a different story.

    Going twin cam though there are issues with it (ie: more upfront expense) but i think it's it worth it.

    There are two ways of going twin cam:
    4g63 turbo off a vr4/evo, starion gearbox does not fit due to being a different bolt pattern, I have seen a supra gearbox used, all custom work....
    Or by using a starion block and gearbox with a twin cam head(timing cover and other parts are required).
    Unless using a late model evo engine, the turbo is going to be on the same side as the master cylinder and steering rack so there could be problems.....

    The only difference between the turbo and NA head's is the valve train's difference. So using the turbo cams in an n/a will work.

    Theres still a few things that I have to sort out, modifiying/replacing/removing balance shaft, upgrading cradle and what head studs should be used.

    Stuck: Drifting, going twin cam helps with the tuning side of things.

    You should really do a write up in the Members Ride Section.. would totally pwn any other section.

    Keep up with the good work.

    I thought the early starions had 2lt leaded engines and the later ones were 2.4 unleaded but they both had simlar power because of emissions and stuff.

    i'm confused, are you doing the starion/ twin cam head conversion now and putting a Evo motor in later?

    flamingheads: they came in 2.0 ltr here plain body


    In other country's theres a wide body with the heavier 2.6ltr featured in top gear once.



    Gilly: Eveything is similar if not the same it's still a 4g63t.... It's the same.

    Just the right amount of space for the crank angle sensor and water hose.



    For the gearbox, a small piece of the tunnel needs to be cut to fit.


    The factory crossmember that holds the gearbox in place, it's just a bolt on job.

    Thanks, I didn't know much about this either until recently thanks to a few vr4 and starion owners.

    ^^Those engines still use FR engine layouts and 4wd distribution similar to a nissan gtr, they where used in rally from 1982 to 1986. 4wd domestic models are very rare.
