love ke70 Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 why would you put a 4a in a ra65 though? it would be a tad small and gutless me thinks Quote
Jono Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 i'm not sure about the SA rules, but i'm sure it would be fine. chances are you could put an even bigger motor such as a 3SGTE or perhaps a 1JZGTE too. Quote
twinkytodd Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 i just went through the process of engineering my ke70 with a 4agze in it. all was legit and well done though. things that were sussed out mostly were the following braking performance difference in tare weight emissions strength and quality of engine mounts suitability of exhaust " " transmission size and offset of wheels + tyres leaks of any kind new bushes all round basically everything on the car actually working (and i mean everything) your best bet is to keep everything standard or as close to standard as possible. keep receipts if u choose to get people to do your work for you. OEM parts that are interchangeable/suit your current setup is the way to go. no fancy aftermarket anything really. all up it costed me about $1800 for the entire process and approximately 3-4 months of smegging around waiting for approval in principle's, approvals, certificates, more approvals and all sorts of other smeg. thats NOT including parts or anything else needed to comply with the requests and/or requirements. its alot of dicking around. but in my case, i think its worth it to be able to say iv been through the process now and everything on my car is legit...kinda. its a good feeling being able to drive around and NOT have to worry about cops pulling u over and sussing out ur car. but each to their own i guess. I'm happy with my result. Quote
Jono Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 adding the turbo cost me another $400, so all up it was $1400 for my setup. the engineer's certificate includes everything though: engine gearbox custom tailshaft seats steering wheel clutch master cylinder brake master cylinder bigger wheels intercooler turbo removal of rear seats and probably more, i'll have to check.
