ke2020

very very nice. cool to see some wagons going around. especially with a 2j in it.

cheers for the comments boys. the only thing I'm unsure of atm is to go straight to an auto or blow a w58 or two apart.

hay guys. a lot of you will recognise this pano that simo was building. i finally got it delivered and started we he left. I'm still going the 13b turbo set up with a 5 speed as i love my rotaries and ke's i understood the cvar was sitting in primer for quiet sometime so i went over alooottttt of the body work over the weekend. bringing and welding a few bits and pieces to make it perfect. i also cut out the rear panels to fit windows. some of you will like it some will hate it. anyway just a quick up date to tell you this project has come back to life and i will be finishing it 100%

looking good man. i love it.

thats the one. simon seems like a top bloke. we spoke for a while and he threw in quiet a heap of things with the wagon. i will be picking it up next week then straight to the beaters. keep you guys posted

change of plans just bought this ke26 panel van couldn't help my self. its everything i wanted to do plus more. cannot wait to pick her up to send it straight to the paint shop. i will post pics of the process. colour will either be the new holden tiel colour or a mercedes grey havnt made up my mind yet.

the orange one was a one owner with 64000 miles on the clock. it was a shame to pull it apart so i sold it. the new one i just bought is a honest looking car that drives well. i went to SDR today so sort out a few thing and have booked it in for a cage, tubs, trans tunnel and a dummy fit of a 13b.

here are a few pics of my first ke20 that i sold

hi all, just pick up my new ke20. just sold the first one i had as it was a one owner car and wayyy to clean to cut up. here is the thing i love ke20's and love rotaries so I'm going to combined the two together to build my dream car. i have spoken to a number of people who engineer cars and they are happy to pass the car with a 12a turbo set up as long as the brakes/suspension and a few other safety requirements are met. i do want a street car but something that i can race as well. apart from free riding riding stand up jet skis professionally i really enjoy a good night at the drags. i will keep you all posted with pics threw out the build but here is the car is standard form. its not too bad considering age but surprisingly she drives really really well. I'm taking her down to SDR motorsport today to see what they think.

onnpsi you car will pass engineering easily hahahaha and cheers guys thanks for the replays. i just picked up my ke20 i will popst some pics soon and i wanted to start with the conversion asap. still in two minds about everything.

hi all maybe someone could help me. i live in NSW and was wondering with all the new laws these days, up to what size turbo motor can i engineer in a ke20. i know you can get away with a CA18 turbo can you put a 12a turbo in there legally. looking forward to your replays guys.

sydney mate

cheers buddy much appreciate the help.

have you tubbed the rear at all and were and cuts made to fit the diff.

hi guys, after months and months of research and google i have finally decided. after tossing between a datto1200 ute with a CA18 or a ke20 with a 13bt i have made up my mind. i have had my fair share of cars rx3's datsuns's with fj20's but i have fallen in love with ke20's. coming from a rotary back round i would love to stick with one. i have found my self a pretty clean ke20 that i will be fully restoring. paint, panel, motor and running gear, wiring the lot. i need your guys opinions on the to do's and don't's on putting a 13bt into a ke20. also i did not want to touch the rear guards at all how wide of a tyre can i get in there? and can i squeeze a 9inch or hilux diff in with out modifications to the body of the car. looking forward to your response guys.

hay buddy cool wagon i have been following the thread. just wondering what you have done with your rear end? what size is the rear wheel and tyre? did you have to cut anything to fit them? what diff are you running? any mods to fit the diff? and last of all what suspension did you end up with. looking forward to your reply.
