Scion Xa and Starlet motors, Can they be swapped? Options

[ToYCeLi8]

K the first thing i dont wanna see is, "ANYTHING CAN BE DONE WITH MONEY" Yes we all know that. Sorry just had to throw that in there.

Anyway, now to the subject at hand. From what i know the Scion Xa is more of a Economical car made for high gas mileage and not very popular performance wise. The Starlet on the other hand is a mini beast, correct? A 1.6l turbo motor and light chassis. I think I've seen it in some kind of circuit/rally racing.

Well that being the case, what if someone were to blow their scion 1nz-fe motor and swap in a 4E-FTE startlet motor? How much work is this person looking at? Is it a simple drop in swap? What are the possibilites for this NEW TURBO SCION Xa TURBO

Just curiousity

Soon to be boosting,
David

The 4e-fte is a 1.3 turbo and not 1.6... And minibeast is exagerating alot since they run 16 second quartermile's stock. I have a friend which got the newer starlet glanza with the 4efte and boost increased to 12psi only gave a 15.92 sec quartermile. Average was 16.2 at 12psi... Don't forget it has an F head and is an economy engine and isnt meant for performance...
