Hi everyone I'm new to this website. I have read through detailed the engine conversion of the Starlet engine into a Mini, but I can't seem to find a Swift conversion. I'm still looking at the positives and negiatives of both. Can You help.

My situation at the moment is I'm rebuilding a Classic Mini which hopefully I'll have the rust repaired, bottom paint, and on 4 wheels with the engine built and in by Xmas. But everyone knows "Best laid plays of mice and men..." will always change.

I also have a Clubman Mini waiting for an engine conversion and I have purchased a subframe 2/3 built. I'm currently buying parts for the Clubman.

Can U direct me to a Swift detail conversion like the Starlet's on this website.
Also provide info on which might be the best way to go.

Have you had a look at this thread?

There is a bit of a thread on a GTi Moke on this forum somewhere but can't find it atm (lunch break). I own the moke now but haven't done anything with it since 2007

Hi Moemoke thanks for the threads, and yes I have did have a look recently.

Is there anyone near Nowra NSW that has a conversion done who I can contact.

Is it possible That I can Archangel also.

Thankyou again for your help.

Why don't you list what your objectives are for the engine?

outright performance, reliability, turbo, non-turbo, fuel economy, handling or straight line speed, cost, are you doing it yourself or paying someone?

Starlet Conversion:

From what I can see is the Starlet turbo is a lot more common because it is more available these days, the Swift GTI is a bit older these days but I reckon once it has a turbo on it it's capable of making the same power as a Starlet mini.
I reckon you can pick up a GTI cheaper than a Starlet but the starlet will be turbo-ed and their for make more power but if you chuck the same size turbo on the GIT it'll do the same job.
Basically their both twin cam 16 valve, 1.3L, 5 speed manual, similar weights etc etc.
I'd like to do a GTI supercharger conversion just to be different, give that a go I reckon

My advice, finish the classic youve got and decide what you want out of another one. Then wait 3 months and save some cash. Then build it.
