Help on Engine Conversion

[FGT]

If toyota LE want to convert to 4AGE or SVT 20V, how much is the total cost?
what else have to change besides engine? dashboard and panels?

Thank you..

ur LE is 1.3 or 1.5 ???... i think at least 1 mounting need to modi... heard from fren onli...

dashboard wise depend on u.. normally will chnage it together...

and price will between 1200 to 1500 to 1800 gua.., depend ur mech lo,.hahahha

things to change ah..timing belt,water pump,seal,filter ......
i think u get ready 5K sure enough...

 

[KHWONG]

aiyak.. mistake info....

i means 1200-1800 is judt for labor charge onli ler.. conversion fees for engine wiring n dashborad..

consumeable is add fees... hahaha

 

[caleb_5375]

haha.........

 

[FGT]

about 5K ar?

actually i have two choices:

Choice 1: LE with 4AGE but body need to restore.
Choice 2: LE with 1.3 SOCH but body is superb condition.

So, which one is more reasonable? I buy the 1.3 and then convert OR buy the one with 4AGE and spend money to restore the body??

KHWONG: If 1.5, no need to modify mounting??

 

[KHWONG]

hprice on both choice ????,,,

but sometime rebulid body is not an easy task... time consuming very very high.,,,,....

agree with kwong....convert engine sometimes is just an easier task compared to rebuilding a body...

okay..but what about cost?

 

[Adeen]

depending on condition of the body i think....
maybe the cost of rebuilding body much cheaping than doing a transplant...
some ppl rebuild those KE's around 1.2k....

 

[KHWONG]

rebuild pricing no comment on tat ler.. cus depend on ur car condition..

dun forget after rebuild body,, need to spray whole car again.. haha..
