Rb30e In Ke36???

[hosedogg]

would an sr20det be engineerable? i'm in act. also would it cost anymore then a 4agte conversion?

[KE ping it real]

The other thing i didn't mention is that your also going to need a diff upgrade rear discs and front brake upgrade and also a suspension upgrade and if your wanting to get it engineered (which is the best way to do things) then you have that cost as well

 

So the actual cost between 4agte & sr20det would be quite similar ($6500 - $7500) but if you add all the above mentioned things as well then more likely looking at say $15000 as a nice round figure

 

Hope that doesnt scare you too much but it is a pretty realistic figure :jamie:

Good to see you boys are now thinking correctly.

 

Definetly the hidden costs are what adds up.

 

time = money and money = time.

[hosedogg]

so for just say the time being. if i were to just say want to get the motor in and running for now and not worry about any of the other things just yet, how much would i possibly be looking at just for that? as i already got to go through the engineering with my vl, just want the rolla for now to get the motor and box in and running then once th vl's done i'll go do the rest on the rolla and finish of the rest of it. wanting to go with an sr now as i've decided on an end goal of about 200rwkw. will just start with an sr20de and 5 speed on standard managemant. cheers Matt.

SR20 is going to be a lot more reliable than 4AGTE

 

you will most probaly find a standard SR20 (even non turb) will give it a fair bit of zing. don't forget light cars like this don't need any where as much power to move them as say your big boat spec VL..

[cuzzo]

More reliable than a 4agte?

 

Eh????

 

My high-comp 4agte with 3rd piston crack still went hard.

 

4age's arent known to be unreliable.

Only when you don't service anything is unreliable. Unless its a 3k. :)

[hosedogg]

yeah i'm more leaning for a sr20 for the sheer factor of bigger motor means more torque :P and i love torque :dance: for the time being i've decided to turbo the spare 5k i got here. but in about a year or so i'll put in an sr20, just an n/a then turbo it after i get used to the sr20 and bored with it lol.

 

all i can think of needing is:

 

motor

gearbox

loom

ecu

engine mounts

gearbox x member

tailshaft

fuel pump

return line

work out something for radiator

 

 

will i need to bash out the gearbox part (forgot name lol) to fit the gearbox in?

[orangeLJ]

transmission tunnel...

 

brakes, diff, suspension?

[hosedogg]

brakes, diff and suspension can be updated later on down the track. i just want to get it running at 1st.

[oh what a nissan feeling!]

motor

gearbox

loom

ecu

engine mounts

gearbox x member

tailshaft

fuel pump

return line

work out something for radiator

 

clutch?

speedo?

exhaust?

heater hoses?

coil and igniter?

surge tank?

 

i could keep going but i don't want to put you off.

[hosedogg]

is a surge tank actually needed? also where could i put one in a wagon? it would have to be underneath to be legal? correct?

[rollapv75]

Why expect others to help you, when you won't even help yourself?

 

if i had a tape measure i'd go open the bonnet on my vl turbo lol.

Laziness.

 

 

farout, didn't think it'd cost that much

Tightarse.

Contact ACT Road Traffic Authority yourself, we don't all live in the ACT. Again, laziness.

Half-arsed, tightarse, death wish.

Half-arsed. Again, contact ACT Road Traffic Authority yourself as laws re: fuel lines and surge tanks differ from State to State.

 

Seriously, sell your Rolla, pimp your "full sik" VL Turbo and stick to the VL/Calais Turbo Forums.

 

You sir, are a muppet.
