'74 Ke30 2-door


Dyzza

Recommended Posts

hey fellas ...

 

I am in possession of 1 x 1974 KE30 2-door sedan, the 20,000th KE30 produced too :D

 

The car has a small amount of rust in engine bay, that will be taken care of shortly. The car will be painted XR6 orange via a workshop where i know a guy ;)

 

I have a j-spec mazda B6T engine that i plan to transplant into her, using an MX5 gearbox (since the motor was east-west from FWD tx3). These motors were rated at 115kw stock i believe.

 

I have a Galant VR4 rally-spec intercooler to use (courtesy of Andrew whom which i swapped a set of mags & sideskirts for), with a slightly larger than stock turbo (from the BPT; 1.8L turbo tx3's/familias). I am missing the stock ECU & loom, and tossing up whether or not to go after market with this gear or not ...

 

These rims are currently on my drivearound car, an old-school laser (thats where the sideskirts on Andrew's corona originated...) Since the offset is different, i'll have to get some spacers made up so she's all sweet (or just get some 16s =)).

 

 

My Plates :D (taken with me camera fone too ...)

Does anyone recognise the mirror in this foto? It's not the original one ...

Estimated completion date: end of 2005.

 

Go the 2-doors ! How rare are these cars? I haven't seen any on the road since i've been looking ...

 

Cheers fellas,

I know this is an old post, but I wanted to see if it was still working. I just purchased an 88 mazda 323 gtx that has a ton of spares including a spare engine,turbo, efi, and all the goods to do a swap. What year mx5 are you using for the tranny? If I cannot sell my ke15 for what I need to get out of it, I may keep it around and get this engine hooked up and ready to swap in.

 

Just keeping my options open. Thanks for the help.

This is something I've always wanted to do, because of how relatively cheap GTX engines are over here and the fact they are factory turbo, as opposed to 4agte. Although I'm unsure of what an mx5 gear box is worth? Would make a nice conversion!
