pics of this crazy beast?
Parts used so far:
Starion block/gearbox
Sonata head/rocket cover
Custom engine mounts
Pros: The block and gearbox are considered to be strong.
Gearbox is a bolt on mod as the t50 mounts are a straight fit.
This also alters the position of engine bringing it 12 mm's closer to the firewall.
Cheap to stroke into 2.4ltr, all that's required is 4g64 crank and modified pistons (a change of balancing shafts but nothing too complicated or expensive).
Can be engineered in any state.
Cons: Turbo is on the same side as master cylinder
Exhaust pipe from the turbo, there is a tight gap between the steering rack and chassis, also it's on the same side as the fuel lines.
More info as it progresses....

PIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICS BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
pics. man thats gonna be crazy. i have a long lost mate who has a 12 second evo powered starion, so imagine what it could do with a sprinter body....
You can have any brew you want... as long as it's a Datsun / Corolla / What is that?
^^^ at it's very early stages
The sonata head swap was the first thing I decide to do, Im facing the same problem with sr20det convertions, the engine is sitting too high for the bonnet to close.
ahhhh..... thats a single cam head.... how is that an EVO engine??
Starion's came out with a single point single cam 2ltr engine, the bottom head is the same as a vr4 gallant and evo's.
The head can be replaced with a twin cam, check my avatar, thats off a late model sonata, early evo's and gallant heads can also be use, water galeries match.
so your running the twin cam head then? or the single cam head? is it just a matter of changing the pistons like most single cam to twin cam conversions? i'm quite interested!
I'm also very interested, One of its kind. After the project is done, what sort of area will it be in? Racing? Drifting? Show?
