ke70_sa Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 hey fellas, i was thinking of upgrading later on in the year, after i set up the car a little better (eg. suspension, brakes, rims) and i was thinking of putting an RB20 in....i know its Nissan and you'll tell me to piss off to NS haha, but i was wondering if you recon it could be done, problems i will face (other than the fact that a motor conversion is generally difficult, plus i realise crossing manufacturers can be suicide) but i was just wondering about any OTHER issues with a Ke70 in general motor conversion, as I'm sure even troubles occur when it comes to 4AGE's and stuff being put in the rollas. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Wrong section. I measured this when i had my skyline, you would have to recess the firewall about a foot, have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love ke70 Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 bullshit a foot, what are you doing, keeping the water pump fan? lol why not go a 1g, it fits no firewall mods, and at least its been done before. rb20 is bigger and heavier, and nissan rubbish at that ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Nope, but I'm keeping the radiator, the motor itself hard against the firewall measured to finish past the radiator support and just behind the grill. Go the 1g, much smaller 6 if thats what youre lookin for, you should be able to cope without the extra power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoPsi Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Some of us spend money on K motors because they don't cost a lot. That is the whole premise of a corolla. As for cross breeding I'm all for it but seriously you need to weigh up how much you are going to spend. Is it worth it? How much of the work can you do for yourself? The majority of you who ask these questions are unable to do much of it. After all it's a car that in stock form that will fetch at best $1000. I don't class spending anything over $1000 as cheap power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
