boosted_ke30 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 Hi all ive just completed installing an rb20 midmounted in a KE 70 n just wondering what people would suggest for a good suspension set up n what actually fits. ive used the standard ke70 crossmember and steering rack so i need some suggestions to what actually fits up too it Quote
Des Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 (edited) Ae86 struts fit but i think you will need better brakes so maybe S13 SR20det coilovers.SR20 det brakes are bigger than CA18. What diff are you running ? Edited January 11, 2009 by AE70 Quote
Tally Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 far out are you in adelaide? heard of one getting an rb20 thrown in... would go HARD!!!! Quote
matt99 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 Good god. S13 SR20DET front end, easy conversion, massive range of coilovers, good brakes, etc. Quote
bLinded_ Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 Dear sweet Jesus. :( Front wise, maybe go with AE86 struts and look down the FC brake upgrade? Even XT130 struts with the Hi-lux/Peugeot 4spot upgrade. Both those struts will give a wide variety of inserts that can be used, and also can easily be converted to coilovers. Going with the S13 route, one thing is that you will gain a hell of a lot of track at the front, so I doubt you'll be able to fit those rims in the picture under the guards. Rear wise. As AE70 said, what diff are you running? Quote
Tally Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 lol looks like a mini monster truck lol hot wheels style lol Quote
boosted_ke30 Posted January 11, 2009 Author Report Posted January 11, 2009 yeah i am in adelaide. sure does go hard lol it has a to4e on it with external gate running round 16 psi! :( so will the 180 stuff all fit up to the ke sev cross member? Quote
boosted_ke30 Posted January 11, 2009 Author Report Posted January 11, 2009 oh and diff i am gonna put a r31 skyline diff in it with mini spool which is gettting done this week Quote

I was thinking the exact same thing. :y: I've always thought about doing a RB20 into a KE. RB20s sound insane hitting the limiter! Quote
Tally Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 my cousin has a spaz everytime he sees my Kesev, he is putting a RB25 in his R32 Last I seen him measuring up my engine bay to see if the RB20 will fit when he takes it out lol Quote
boosted_ke30 Posted January 11, 2009 Author Report Posted January 11, 2009 yeah its a real tight squeeze i cut a lot of the firewall out and the motor sits back roughly 250mm under tha dash. Quote
towe001 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 Ae86 struts fit but i think you will need better brakes <snipe> think believe would be a better word for it :y: Good god. Dear sweet Jesus. :P I'll add to that Holy Mother Mary Is that legal ?! Quote
Roo Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 yea i would go a corona strut, pug/hilux brakes brake setup, i have them in mine and stop really nicely s13 gear you get good brakes but cornering is shit house, as the ballpoint angles are all wrong, you also end up with way to much track Quote
boosted_ke30 Posted January 11, 2009 Author Report Posted January 11, 2009 the car isnt regency approved with tha motor but it is regoed for a 4k lol. its intended to be track car only Quote
boosted_ke30 Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Posted January 14, 2009 ok i am going all toyota front end with 8kg ae86 coilovers, 5kg rear trd springs with kyb shocks. i just need to get camber tops and ae86 power steering arms and should be set for giving this set up a go. Quote
