ROLLN'03 Posted June 17, 2005 Report Posted June 17, 2005 Hey, Reading an article last night all about the famous Rotary engine! It stated that on a standard 13b & 12a, if you set it up with the right Weber and a nice set of tuned length extractors + nice sized full exhuast that the 12a could get a strong 200+ hp and the 13b and even stronger 250+ hp! Thats just amazing performance! Is there any corolla in here even over 200Hp? * don't get me wrong, i am VERY far from displaying any sign of being againest the COROLLAS! :P Quote
oke020 Posted June 17, 2005 Report Posted June 17, 2005 (edited) Easy problem to solve, put a rotary in your corolla :P Edited June 17, 2005 by oke020 Quote
ROLLN'03 Posted June 17, 2005 Author Report Posted June 17, 2005 (edited) I must say that, there was a small urge to have one...... But come on........ Who wouldn't? Just for KICKS :P and they sound incredible! But after a while its like --- :D Edited June 17, 2005 by ROLLN'03 Quote
ROLLN'03 Posted June 17, 2005 Author Report Posted June 17, 2005 Better yet, id like a rotary in a corolla! How fun and surprising would it be to people! But i think it would be to much trouble... :P Quote
KE30Coupe Posted June 17, 2005 Report Posted June 17, 2005 More likely to be too much $$$$$$ than too much trouble :P Quote
oke020 Posted June 17, 2005 Report Posted June 17, 2005 Yes rotarollas are fun and yes they can surprise people :P , not any more trouble to fit than a piston engine conversion, ok maybe slightly more as depending on what car the tunnel may have to be raised a few inches. $$$$$ yes, depends how Fast you want to spend? :D Quote
ke30nuts Posted June 17, 2005 Report Posted June 17, 2005 there's a guy down here in Tassie that just put a 13b in a ke55... I'v seen how he's done it and does'nt seem to be that much work!!! I have'nt heard it going myself but people have said it sounds f#*king insane. :P Quote
YLD-TOY Posted June 17, 2005 Report Posted June 17, 2005 (edited) Hi guys, I'm new on here and a big fan of the rolla. Edited due to misinterpretation. To get that sort of power from the naturally aspirated rotors requires porting, not just exhausts and carbies. If you can pull 250hp from a 13B without touching the motor and only playing with carbs and exhaust there would be some rotary tuning shops very interested in your secret :P Rotars and corollas go well together, apart from some transmission tunnel work they are not much harder than any other engine conversion that steers away from the k-engines or a-engines. I like my piston engines but am a big fan of the rotar too. Edited June 17, 2005 by YLD-TOY Quote
ROLLN'03 Posted June 17, 2005 Author Report Posted June 17, 2005 Thanks for your input! I'm sure almost all of us in here, wouldnt be here if we were chasing massive power! We are here for fun, and because we all have a passion for ROLLAS! :P Quote
YLD-TOY Posted June 17, 2005 Report Posted June 17, 2005 Thanks for your input! It was just meant to be some info, but it appears it was not welcome? I'm sure almost all of us in here, wouldnt be here if we were chasing massive power! Power is only one ingredient in making a nice car, often not the most important either. I wouldn't be here either if I was chasing masive power, I would at home working towards it :D We are here for fun, and because we all have a passion for ROLLAS! Thats the reason I have my rolla, for fun, it's not good for much else! A passion for rollas, I have owned and modified a few :P Quote
Tiger Posted June 17, 2005 Report Posted June 17, 2005 Welcome YLD TOY! :D And yeah, I have been edged on to get a 13B turbo in my KE55, but they are big bucks to convert if you aren't doing it yourself. More frequently seen in the KE20s because of the "virtually no weight" factor. I'd personally wanna stick to piston motors... although you gotta love the fact that you can quite easily rev a rotor to 9000rpm and yet there's still more (in the words of Tim Shaw for Demtel) :P Quote
ROLLN'03 Posted June 17, 2005 Author Report Posted June 17, 2005 Sorry guys, it seems that you have got my comment wrongly.... Your input was most welcome and always is YLD - TOY. We all have a passion for rollas and we can all, always agree on that... don't get me wrong! but k engines are fun, and not massive power....... but I'm not knocking anything and most certainly anyone! :P Quote
YLD-TOY Posted June 17, 2005 Report Posted June 17, 2005 More frequently seen in the KE20s because of the "virtually no weight" factor. Even less seen in KE17's with even less weight factor :P debuting late '05 Quote
YLD-TOY Posted June 17, 2005 Report Posted June 17, 2005 It's all good ROLLN'03, its easy to misinterpret stuff online, I am a shokcer for it :P Quote
demuire Posted June 17, 2005 Report Posted June 17, 2005 BEST ENGINE FOR A KE COROLLA Sort of a rotary, but even more fun: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...4556094542&rd=1 Quote
