philthy30 Posted August 29, 2009 Report Posted August 29, 2009 well i have bit the bullet and bought myself a 3sge beams to drop into my ke30 that i rebuilt from the ground up last year so i will try keep you guys updated on what I'm doing. Motor : 3sge beams Gearbox: W55 with 2c bellhousing Intake : Blacktop quad throttle bodies Engine management : Link G4 storm Diff : Undecided ? Quote
philthy30 Posted August 29, 2009 Author Report Posted August 29, 2009 thought i better put a photo up of the car Quote
7shades Posted August 29, 2009 Report Posted August 29, 2009 Oh shityeah... Beams ftw... I'll be watching this one :y: Quote
36panvan Posted August 30, 2009 Report Posted August 30, 2009 booya 3sge beams :y: another build for me to follow Quote
philthy30 Posted August 30, 2009 Author Report Posted August 30, 2009 sat the motor in today just to see what i had to do with the crossmember etc it all ligns up overrated just have to cut the existing mounts of the cross member and use the mounts that are on the engine. The only problem i have at this stage is the swaybar is to close to the sump so will either have to find a different swaybar or maybe get one made. Just sorted out a bellhousing tonight its a 1S bellhousing and i am now going to use a W57 gearbox as apparently the ratios work better with the beams. Quote
