A few weeks back I found a video of a Carina TA62 on Youtube where it stated that it had received a 1G-E swap so I got interested in the project, especially as it is an Hungarian project.
So I commented on the video and received an email from the owner with links to these photos.
For the record this is the video and it is a bit hard to see:
The engine is a 1G-E from a Cressida. Looking at the engine I suspect the donor to be a GX61.
Here is another video where the engine is fired up the first time:
I’m really curious on drift videos from this little beast.
And this is what the increased torque is capable of:
So has anyone got a 1G lying around for me? :P
If you are interested, this is their Facebook page.
