ke70_sa Posted June 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 more than anything, the main features of a new motor i want is EFI and turbo. problem with the RB30 would only be i would need to get a VLT to get the turbo motor or do a turbo conversion myself, which would be good for a project, but in the end, this is essentially going to be a daily. thats why a CA18DET is looking the go from what you guys have said. but if anybody again has further suggestions that would be good.

Des Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 What are you looking to get from the car ? Drifting ? If so id keep to a 4 banger in a ke70 just to keep the front end weight down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvia_19 Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Wrong section. I measured this when i had my skyline, you would have to recess the firewall about a foot, have fun! i registered just for this WRONG WRONG WRONGG WRONG unless u know what ur talking about don't offer shit advice , first of all it will fit , its not easy , but doable , i suggest if ur looking for a car that will handle don't bother as it wont , it makes them taily and a pig to drive .. to do it , u will need to cut ur radiator suppot panel out fabricate a custom x member so u can slam the engine low , and modify the swaybar so it misses the sump .. in my opinion , steer clear from the 6 cyl in the ke corollas , it just makes them shit to drive , my mate built an rb25 sprinter and we helped another mate do a rb20 ke70 .. neither of which cars handle well .. if u really want it , ill do the conversion for 7k drive in drive out :dance: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone new comes on and bad mouths someone else. Why not just say 'from my experiences...' or 'i do this for a living and it can be done with minor modifications...' and be polite and nice about things. This forum from what i understand is to help people and inform them. If someone has produced incorrect information it may have been from personal experience or prior reading they have done. If you've got someone to add there isnt reason to dump shit on what someone else has said. just my 2cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

love ke70 Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 he probably didnt consider moving the radiator or any such things which make conversions like that possible. maybe u should drive my 1g ke70, its no fully sick drift king but it hangs onto corners bloody well according to all passengers.

silvia_19 Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 yeah , I'm only talkin of 2 examples i know of , they drift like shit , constantly loop ect . and yeah as u staded , the radiator has to be almost front mounted for the motor to fit ill see if i can dig up some pictures of the rb25 sprinter .. I'm sure some of the qldrs here have seen it on the rare occasion .. my mate pieter used to own it then sold it to some guy .. thats the only pic f the car i could find atm . ill see what bay shots are about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulie Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 how capable are you working with cars.. can you do most of the fab work yourself?? CA or SR is the way to go.. don't believe the tools that think a ca or sr will throw the balance of the car away, thats a load of *milkshake*.. the srt and ca weigh just a fraction more than a 4age... whats your budget??
