Corolla_Kid Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 I don't know what they are called but i like the look of the 2 litre straight six and six speed manual out of lexus is200. It would be fairly easy as it is already rwd but engine length could be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLOTH Snr Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 Nothing wrong with a Lexus v8 if they're to pricey try a rover v8 Not to expensive,lightweight and it would fit with little engineering. Get the motor out of an old P76 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AE25 Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 (edited) not original by any means and old and heavy but... 3tgte ke70 .. just ran a 14.59@153k mods are 2.5" exhaust, pod filter and a plumb back vr4 bov (std boost that creeps to 13psi). not bad for a stock turbo engine without an intercooler how bout an FJ20ET if you can find one heh heh Edited November 15, 2005 by AE25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love ke70 Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 hey guys I'm just wonderin do people think a 1ggte is too heavy in a ke70? running on gas with tank in boot and battery in boot, along with about 40 or 50 kilo of subs box and amps? this would probably balance alright wouldnt it? thanks ~andrew~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Jamie Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 the mechanic i get trade price parts thru, he used to have a ke70 with a 1g-gte. said it was great in a straight line, not as good as it used to be around corners that being said, it's sprung weight so you can GET it to handle, just depends how much you want to spend on suspension development and/or how willing you are to cut your car up and move the engine rearwards of the firewall where it should be :lolcry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love ke70 Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 yeah gaijun doru, is he the same bloke as 1g-gte ke70 on toymods? i think it is, saw him tryna sell his wheels here I'm actually lookin at buyin his whole setup and puttin it into my 70, 2000 he wants for it he never would say what happened to the engine lol on upper cylinder lubrication? what does that mean and what will the damage be? what mite u say is a better conversion to do? with suspension if u have adjustable coilovers on strong springs and bilstein shocks, would that help my cause in the handling department, coz i really do like my firewall the way it is thanks guys, I'm interested to here more, as I'm thinking 2000 for everything i need to get a 1g into my car is good, and if the damage isnt serious ill just rebuild, if not a new engine isnt too hard to find with no ecu thanks again ~andrew~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 ^^ from what i have seen, he isnt the easyest person to deal with, so be carefull on that point, ive never dealed with him my self, so i don't have first hand expirence. Remember, $2000 could get you alot of things :lolcry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolla__Boy Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Does he disappear, just after you hand over the cash? cuz that sucks when that happens hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love ke70 Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 (edited) yeah from my talking with him he's a lazy fella lol he 'sold' his wheels and front suspension (2 seperate transactions) and then can never be bothered taking them off the car and shipping them so he doesnt actually sell them, just lets the sale fall thru. hence why he wants me to take the whole car lol so what sort of damage can we presume has been done to that engine due to its lack of upper cylinder lube (?) 2000 can get me alot of things, including a 1ggte, w57, alfa lsd, 15*8 and 15*7 wheels, modded to fit ke70 ra60 front struts and adjustable coilovers, lpg setup, and a 'straight' ke70. is that good? from what i can work out its prob not a bad deal as i could sell all the parts off if i never use them.... any thoughts? thanks ~andrew~ p.s. i graduated today :( :( :lolcry: :( Edited November 18, 2005 by love ke70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
