It rolls forward in the video, but there's still the engine mount secret.
how can a engine mount be a secret??
you put the engine in position and measure and build a mounting...
its either a good secret or a complete bodge thats why its not shown!! lets hope its a goood secret
1. In terms of tight fit, there is actually more room than you can imagine. Some parts may be close to chassis but there is enought room to play with.Whats the big secret with the engine mount?
i remember someone doing this to a starlet about 5 years back on this site but i think he struggled to get everything working right.
That is a seriously tight fit....... How are you going to mod the engine further from its stock 210bhp (Looks like an engine from an st185) is there any room for improved manifolds, turbos or even changing the charge cooler?

2. yes, its a ST185 version 3SGTE
3: Any internal work will not affect anything outside, so what you see will be as in the video. I can fit a front mount intercooler anytime, pipework will be simple as pie. The only area where i would have to investigate is if i fit a aftermarket manifold and turbo, may be close to front of car but it should fit alright with no major hassle.
This conversion is SETUP A >
Standard engine, ecu, turbo etc.
Setup B will involve major performance upgrades to acheive minimum 450-500HP, and as you may be aware, this is a 3SGTE so yeh, that power can easily be achieved with supporting mods and the over supply of aftermarket items.
