Need suggestion : Malaysia Boleh workshop

[lsm1991]

recently i also search for 4G93 easily RM8k. if the GSR-T will be easily RM10-12k. Transplant workmanship will be 4-5k. That doesn't include all the other misc like parts.

standby 30k for this kind of project... it is going to be a price for some other car

yep... frankly speaking, i did the math, and for the most part unless theres a very special/specific reason why he wants to shove it into HIS car specifically, its financially more viable to
just buy another car with the engine in it.

what i wana figure out is exactly what how much research ts has done at this point, whats his budget and what he expects to achieve with said budget...

 

[sanekit]

Yup.. if its a direct swap, it shud be easy. Too bad it's not... GSR coz roadtax is cheaper and yes, mine is the 1.8 Carens 1. The one before citra.

iinm, all 4 mounts confirm different. crossmember is different, subframe also different. need to fabricate custom mounts so that no modification is done at the engine bay. i have a 2.0 citra. had considered swapping the engine but after done some research, not worth it.

my advice, trade in the carens for an airtrek. hahaha

engine price complete with dashboard & wiring (you will definitely need the dashboard and wirings) is around RM5k for the gsr. non turbo is around RM3k++. swap labor most probably around RM1.5k-2k not including the custom mounts. i think definitely gonna hit RM10k-12k easily.

 

[drill]

Hahaha... Glad with all the infos... With the estimated pricing. Really appreciate it.

Well, frankly speaking that is one of the choice.... Haven't really decide yet... But mitsubishi it is... To be honest, i would really love to get an airtrek engine... But i might go down to a 4g93 single cam from a CK or similar...
Why not just sell... Well... I just made a stupid vow to myself... Not to change car within this 2 years... Coz the past 2 years... Just sold of estima, then took a perdana with rvr turbo then spectra 5 and mazda etude. Oh ya and a celica. Carens just recently bought and i am really disappointed with the fc. Really bad choice did i do... Regrets...

For the spectra 5, it is good. My wife really love it( did think of selling it off, but she refused.) This car fc is good.. a tank of 40 liter can go until 600km... Its just that, really lack of power. That's why i just want just a little bit push only...

But then again... Starting this thread is more of finding those kind of workshop. I know they exist... But where... Used to know a few in Melaka and Selangor. But some of them close, due to owner pass away... Some change place but I don't know where... some... I dare not to go anymore... Coz... The price went sky high after they got reputation...

i was on the lookout for 4g63t's recently (93 priced quite similar).... they aint that cheap.

the airtrek 1/2 cut was probably the most affordable variant (for its age) i could find...

if buy separately/barai maybe can get within 5k as stated by @sanekit , but the money spent to start the engine is pretty close to get complete halfcut.
Lego part joint together still no start, more money babeh...lol.
For TS if time not your obstacle , slowly search for halfcut. On the spot can test.

i might be able to recommend 1 or 2 workshops but i can't confirm if they want to do it or not. i can PM you their contacts and you can ask them directly. but for these kind of swap, don't expect your car to be ready in a month.

Yes... Pls do pm me. No harm on surveying right?

Yup... Noted on the duration. Last mod i had on my mazda mx3 putting in a mazda engine from totally different chassis, took about 1 year. Manage to get the mounting fix, but had to abandon coz the engine is too high... Had to jacked up the bonnet about 2 inch just to get good ground clearance.

 

[lsm1991]

wahh engine popping out the hood, cg mesti lari....
but not an issue, potong hood, let it stick out!

 

[vr2turbo]

some random feasibility questions....
1)how much are you expecting the gsr to cost (lets say all in, inc workmanship)
2)how much do you think the super charger install will cost (all in, not just the sc itself)

Yah, was about to ask this also. Even turbo kit from speedworks, cheapest around RM8k, not including workmanship and other mods.....

Considering the insanity of the swap, one thing the dude seemingly has is money. Why worry? If he's ready for such a big task, I'm sure he's aware of the costing.

But once you bump up it's power, fc most probably will go down.........lol

If got RM, better off modding some popular cars, easy on parts, workmanship and so on......lol

 

[ixeo]

This doesn’t make sense. Selling the car, money for the mod is enough to buy a new or used car without hassle.

That seems a bit too high though. Guys in our Mark X club have done swaps to 3.0SC/3.5 engines and 'only' cost them around 15-20k already including swapping the transmission and long drive shaft. But yeah the message is the same, this kinds of swaps usually will end up pretty costly.

demand vs supply, 4g93/63t engines~

all in a terbalik (e5) 4g63t conversion..... estimate about 13-15k to masuk my car (and thats a almost pnp chassis)

Evo 4G63T I can understand but 4G93T should not be that expensive. Guys in our Mark X club bought the very rare Tom's 3.0 supercharge unit for just rm14k from Japan auction already including all wiring, gearbox and driveshaft ready to plug and play only. His total cost around 20k or even less all installed.

4G93T and 4G93T CK layout prices is expensive. for 5k maybe you can get a 93T CK floor engine only.

Wife's car no need to mess around much la. FC good but install SC then surely go south already. She will probably also complain why engine becomes noisy. Like one of our Mark X Club guys also, he installed SC kit but only used very shortly as the wife keeps complaining that suddenly the car sounds so noisy with all the whining and swooshing. Now that my Mark X I give to my wife to drive, I also stop thinking to mod it already coz she won't appreciate it!

Btw weird choices of cars you have there.
