Ke20 Undecided On Motor

[---KE20---]

hey guys i am a noob here and i am looking for some information on my ke20.

 

At this stage she is bog stock apart from some rims and a 4k motor, but all this is about to change. I will be completly rebuilding her with some sort of turbo motor(at this stage its a ca18det).

 

What i need to know is who has built a 20, what alternative engine, brakes, suspension, chassis strengthening if any, diffs, any information that can help me would be greatly appreciated.

 

I will be pushing whatever motor i put into her to make some decent power say 250-300hp.

 

I'm not going to muck around with this build i will be taking my time to build it right first time.

 

cheers in advance guys

But a CA18DET is ok!? :y:

[Jono]

yeah, up to 1.9 litre turbo is allowed in NSW. Depending on the build, some get sr20det engineered too.

How does that work? Your allowed a 1.8 turbo 'piston' motor, but not allowed a 1.3 turbo 'rotor' motor?? :y:

[ca18ae71]

they class a 12a as 2.4 13b as 2.6 20b as 4.0 and so on , just pp a 12a man lol

[!!!! holden2100!!!!]

why would they class them as that??

Rotary Displacement

 

Rotary vs. Piston Engine Equivalency

....and I use that to my advantage:

 

Rego for a 1.3l

 

tax return kilometre allowance for a 2.6l

I'm putting a ca18det into mi ke26 wags...a tad different to a ke20 but not much...but same principles apply..

brakes I'm going to get a hopper stoppers kit, struts I'm going to convert the standard struts to coilovers, diff = hilux, gearbox = jatco 3spd, custom tailshaft with loop.

I'm going for 350rwhp. as for chassis work i don't think ill really do anything... front end steering is getting rebuilt..

are you going to make a custom crossmember or do you only need new engine mounts? Do you need to customise your tunnel to fit the ca box in?

 

cheers for the info

[13bke26]

yes crossmember is going to be modified and new engine mounts are going to be made.. The tunnel is going to be modified a little bit to fit the jatco. but I'm still not sure how much as I'm still stripping the car.
