Charade G11R turbo, march '85
- 12 Months Rego
- Full engine rebuild about 40000km's ago
- Replaced battery, piston rings, bottom end bearings, head gasket, clutch plate and fully reconditioned head 1000kms ago.
- Boost tap is connected but hasn't been turned up since replacing the rings, bearings etc.
Interior:
- Phillips CD head unit with 6 inch rear speakers and 4 inch front speakers.
- No rips in seat
- No cracks in dashboard
Exterior:
- 13x6 Cheviot rims with almost new tyres (3000kms old).
- Rear koni shocks and rear spring conversion from an 85 Mitsubishi Colt.
- 2.25 inch straight through turbo back exhaust.
- Very good condition paint (except bonnet, which is to be resprayed).
- No rust!
Included:
*Another G11 for spares (including turbo and other goodies).
*2 extra sets of wheels all with tyres, along with the ones fitted.
('series 1 turbo wheels' and 'series 2 turbo wheels')
I would be looking for about $3500 for EVERYTHING. If anybody is interested please send me a pm. It would great for a first car or a project car if you were to put the twin cam turbo engine from the charade GTti. It makes these thing unbeleivably fast because they are so light.
I dont know how to post pictures but i have heaps of them. Is there somebody I can send them to who will put them up for me? Otherwise i'll send send pics individually.
email - forphuxake_69@hotmail.com
cheers, Tom

How much would the DOHC engine cost? like, for a transplant. Would this need to be engineered, or is it a straight, legal swap? And where are you?
thanks dude.

Im not sure about the price of the twin cam engine. Its a very easy swap though. The Twin cam engine is called a CB70 or CB80 and has 78kw. It doesn't need to be engineered either coz your replacing a daihatsu 1 litre 3 cyl turbo, with a daihatsu 1 litre 3 cyl turbo. Lots of guys in this forum http://forums.eis.net.au/index.php
have done the twin cam conversion (which is said to be only a little bit harder than pulling the original engine out and putting it back in) or they have experience with the motors and would be able to give you prices and other details.
You bet its great around corners!!! taking it around a series of tight corners always leaves me with a huge grin on my face, its such a chuckable car! parking is just not an issue at all either.

twin cam motor swap is so damn easy, but you have to use a EFI tank from later model charade or external pumps, but damn its worth it!. G11's with cb70s are damn damn quick cars. Cheap, easy conversion that will chop 200's and wrx's! (speaking from experience). The cb70's are getting hard to find though.

The other thing you need for the conversion is the brake master cylinder from the later model applause so that it clears the bigger head.

i live in castle hill, and ive never seen your car around dude, where do you hide?!. I always flag down g11's to talk to the owners. Do you remember two g11's getting around about a year ago?. One was white with headlight to headlight intercooler and the other was a blue one with supra front mount?. That was me and my mate. We prowled castle hill for ages in those things, snappin up anything that we could run.. lol

haha shit, i must have been hiding under a rock! i definantly would've remembered seeing those! At the moment only me and one of my friends have G11 turbos but we dont have plans for a cb70 coz they are only our first cars and we dont have the money. He bought his for $350 and its in pretty shit condition, the chick he bought it off couldnt understand why it kept overheating and it was because one of the radiator hoses wasnt clamped on!! that job fucked up a few things in his engine and he's still fixing it. it also has a shitload of dents and rust. I live behind oakhill college near the primary school and shops. what car do you drive now? we should go for a drive and you can check out my car, tell me if you think its in good condition and crap.

Yer, thats my old G11. The blue one in the other photos is my mates, and the G100 is a genuine GTti  and thats jason's, (or SLYBOY from daihard) How much power on that day?.. the quick answer is more than the 4AGE's and almost as much as a 4AGZE. haha but on that stinkin HOT day (42degrees in the dyno cell), running only 17psi it made 92kw@wheels. It was tuned to run 24psi, but the wastegate couldnt hold it. It had been previously dynoed at 115kw@wheels.. since then its been rebuilt with external gate etc and was dynoed at 145kw@wheels, not bad for a 1L 3cyl. oh, and it weighs 550kgs with full tank.. hmmm.. im miss her

I second that for sure!
Why oh why would anyone want a charade? For 1 its made by daihatsu (BTW: isnt this supposed to be a TOYOTA FORUM), they look like a cerial bow turned on its side with lego wheels put on them, and they dont perform much better.
The only time i would ever buy a charade is if i wanted to make an artificial reef for fishing. What can i say, daihatsu did succeed in creating a four seater ride on lawn mower!
One of my mates has a chrade turbo, and although he loves it for some reason, he admits that a 3cylinder 1L engine was NOT made for a turbo. He has had the turbo blow twice, had to completely rebuild the engine 3 times, all in the space of 4 years. All on standard boost.
My advice to poppin_fresh is to buy an old school celica. maybe an RA60. I have one, and they handle like theyre on rails if treated well. People may respect yo a bit more 2.
My advice to Tommo is get the bike, even a pushy will be an upgrade.
You guys will probably ignore me, and i dont care. So go cut the springs, put on a wing an a 6 inch dump, and burn rice!

anybody can blow a turbo if they treat them like shit.
I wish someone would take you for a drive in a CB70 powered charade to show you just what "rice" is. I dont think youd be laughing at the charade when you fly past a WRX.
Yeah the charades not the best looking car, but hell, so is an RA60 celica in my opinion. celicas got ugly when the 80's began only started looking sweet after 86 or whatever year the FWD ones came out (no offence just my opinion).
