My New Ke36

[LXY-642]

oh yeah, going 12a turbo now ;) if anyone wants a couple mazda bp motor's hit me up, otherwise i'll keep them and end of putting one in one of the other ke36's or something lol.

 

Matt.

WOW 3 different engines in 2 posts, i'm confused, as far as cas for the bp motor try mx5 only about 25mm tall

[LXY-642]

Yeah i change my mind more then some chicks lol. But I can get engine and box 12a for less then the cost ofthe mx5 gearbox. Maybe I'll just shut up untill I actually get something mounted in there haha

 

 

Also will have a look into that for the bp motor.

 

And curly. At least I didn't say sr20 ;) I think you'd disown me then if I did lol

You really can,t call youself WPN36 with a 4K, maybe meek36

[LXY-642]

No deff not staying with a k motor in this one anymore. That's why I got my old ke36 back it will be the daily. This one I am still deciding what engine 100% I want to be able to legally engineer it. And want it boosted. So that leaves me with up to 2,365cc turbo engine I can have legally. I have a 35/40 with 0.63 rear and a 50mm external gate sitting in my room ready for it lol. Been told 12a's are getting to hard to get parts for and to go a 13b. But can't legally have that turbocharged in the car. It still needs alot of work before it's ready for an engine to be put back in regardless. But would like to have 250-300rwkw in it :happy:

Yeah I recently heard that you can't get 12a rotor housings any more. Slightly worrying for anybody with a hypo 12a.

Given you can't go 13bt, maybe you should re-consider the NA ported 13b again!?

[LXY-642]

Yeah the 13bbp would be pretty fun. Was talking to Anthony at Maztech Melbourne. And he was trying totalk me into the 13bbp. Saying that would be a very quick car due to the light weight. Spose even then it'd be struggling for traction. Will see what happens when the time comes :happy: not saying what engine will be going in untill I actually have it and mounted lol.

 

Want to fit rack and pinion steering from a ke70. Get my spare vl diff shortened and adapted to suit the leaf springs. And coilovers in the front with vt commodore brake setup.

[LXY-642]

pulled the front end out.

 

 

[LXY-642]

Just picked up some vl front struts for the rolla last night. See how they go :)

[LXY-642]

Now considering all engine options. Aim is 300rwkw. Prefer anything that will do it on a stock engine with just the bolt ons upgraded. And the lighter the engine the better. Everyone's opinions/thoughts will be greatly appreciated. And yes I am dead set wanting 300rwkw. I think my bp motor I have can just push that at it's limit. Mate is telling me to put a 1ggte. He reckons stick to Toyota as they are strong engines

[JJT036]

What about an HSV LS3? Or maybe an SS L98 with Head work?

[LXY-642]

two reason's.

 

1) wont be legal

2) cost of those are a bit exy for me

[JJT036]

Then maybe a Fully Worked 3S-GTE with Upgraded Cams, Turbo, Intercooler, the Works. But you'll have to convert to RWD tho...

[LXY-642]
