I'm going to throw this out there but don't shoot me if I sound like an idiot. As I understand it you have already built a t56 housing for the narrow block 4g63 buys and they tended to use the AWD flywheel since it was smaller. Since the 4g63 and the 4g64 use the same parts, why not keep things ...

Bump for wildbill! Sorry I been mia, kinda feel like I was stuck on a deserted island talking to a volleyball. I am back on track now, hopefully

Hey Bill, won't the shifter be in the back seat on the t-56?

Ever seen the shifter on a 60's Cobra? Gansta. Actually, since I moved my seat back in the car (I'm 6'3") its kind of a reach to the stock shifter for me anyways, moving it back would actually help me to shift faster.

:lol: I like my ...

That looks tits Good job!

btw, is there a narrow block 6 bolt 4g64? I was thinking maybe some of the early mitsu trucks might have them? I was thikning 4g64 4g63 crank for some good 2.1l goodness.

I'm sure there is since dsmers use them with the stock tranny's all the time.

You just gotta look for deals! I got mines for $860 plus $175 shipped to Bill, altho shipping cost the guy $238.00 He took a bath on that one! It woulda been alot more expensive to ship it to me since i'm 2000 more miles away.

Bill, you ever going to make a V8 block for us?! Dual 4G63 heads

The D50 block is likely a wide block. You need to measure your top bellhousing bolts from your Starion and find a block with the same measurement. (i think it's 13.25")

I think the auto tranny 4g63 is wideblock and manual tranny is narrow block. I got lucky and pulled a 4g63 wideblock turbo ...

Great looking project car. Good luck with the project and keep us updated with pics

Maaan! I feel like a kid waiting for that feast on turkey day!! Mmmmmmmmmmmmm 6 speed.... extra gravy please!

Ah, ok..... I re read the post, boy do i feel dumb

Looks like the intake is still facing the wrong way. The front of the engine is on the passnger side now, like the newer evo's.

1/2 hour?! Took me 2 hours to get the wiring from headlights to rear seats! But i'm going to use the dsm gauge cluster. Figured it's still newer wire than the 34 year old stuff in the celica.

Been a lot of 4g swap bashing on SQC lately. We need some numbers and driveability reports. You'd think some of these guys eat, sleep, and breathe G54B like it was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Thanks for the link, sweet project you got going there

Look on my web site http://starion.mrbdesign.com.au see "4G63 SOHC 8 valve" for information on the Sirus engine. All Starions sold in Australia had the "Sirus" 4G63 SOHC engine.

We don't have to swap the 4G63 because we already have one :D
We just concentrate on installing the DOHC head ...

Shweeeeet That bellhousing is lookin more and more refined every time you post up.

Waaasup mainstream! . Yeah, switching to a turbo motor without a turbo must have been slower than stock. That motor is pretty clean except for the t-belt tensioner which came apart. I think that's the reason they dumped the truck

This is the reply i got from mainstream from the starquest forum;

yes indeed it is. Squirters are a definate for a turbo motor. The g63b tubo came in all starions outside of the US. I hope you got the head too. I'd love to find one (whole motor) in a junkyard.

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone knows anything about the G63 Sirius Turbo wide block motors? I pulled a motor out of a mighty max pickup and on the valve cover it said sirius turbo. I didn't pay much attention since there was no turbo routed in the exhaust, I just figured it might be a jdm ...

Haha yeah, i'm jus messin with him, we got the same project

Damn, i see you everywhere

Thanks for the welcome smog! Hey.... come to think of it, I used to own a starion, i think it was an 83. Had to replace the head on it since part of it was melted.

If you're going to spend $2000 on a transmission setup, why not spend the $600 extra on getting a wideblock and doing a build/rebuild?

(this is how getting in over your head gets started.. ask me how I found out)

:lol: I plan on getting that wide block on friday, i already took it apart ...

look up car-part.com and find what you need close to you

http://car-part.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi

Thanks for the quick reply guys! I checked out carpart.com and the closest place to me wanted $750. I'm really debating between the r-154 and the t-56. Can you guys throw in some pros and cons?
R ...

Truly amazing stuff! . I was going to pick up a wide block G63B this weekend for my RWD project. Do i still need it? I've got a spare 4G63 sittin in the garage waiting to be built. How much does the r154's go for anyways? Used T-56's go for about a grand.

Hi guys! Found this place after searching for a rwd tranny conversion for my 4G63 73 celica project car. I've owned 3 dsm's since 91 and still have the original 91 as my daily driver. I see there's a wealth of knowledge here and some pretty cool people too.
