I'm selling a ke11 shell and my ca18 to a mate as a project and

to make transport easier i thought id chuck the ca in the bay

and tie it down.

 

I was very surprised to see it fitted very very well, if the rubbers

were'nt so big on the ca mounts it would have even fit into the

stock crossmember mounts!

 

At a glance it wasnt not perfect but its definately a do able

conversion. The bonnet even fitted back on.

 

just thought id share.

ca's are top motors. I had a poxy bluebird with one and it hauled.

 

interested to hear of the progress on this thing.

just recently received the shell scott sold, CHEERS heaps scotty. i would like to know if it has been done already

(hopefully not).

 

how'd you go?? if there were any major proplems ie. structrual, firwall and tunnel work it would be good to know aswell.

i made a template of the gear box to suss how i would go housing it and theres some cutting to be done.

what would be easier replacing the stock tunnel with a 180 or silvia one. or just making one myself from sheet metal.

 

Help would be much appriciated cheers

I wouldnt mind doing this as well

But don't really wanna chop up the firewall/transtunnel on my ke11

its too original

:wink:

Hey Rollaclub,

 

:wink:

 

I'm new to rollaclub and i remember reading an article on a ke15 sprinter having a 1.8det dropped in it, It was running 11 second quarter mile times.

My query is that the ke10 is similar weight to a ke15 and the parts for a 1.8det are everywhere so could you get that legally registered in QLD?

 

What a machine it would be! :)

Hey james, i was wonding if you'd find this...

I'd say you'd need to do some cutting and welding. I recon most people

do the sheet metal jobs in the trans tunnel. can you get a s13 tunnel can you?

 

dudemannn- keen to know more about this ca18det ke15 if you know anything

more...

This is the website i remember reading about it a year ago the ke15 sprinter its a track corolla!

 

nice read

Ended up cutting the tunnel from a ke55 wreck a mate had, the ca box looks like it will fit

nice and cosy.

How do you think i would go using the front struts from the car into my ke11.

doing this conversion now actually the fire wall does not need modilying but the tunnel does even with me running a c4 auto i still needed the tunnel modified i will post some pics soonish

Hi,

 

I have a registered ke10 with a CA18DET. Getting the motor in is no problem, it’s all the other shit that comes along with it. All you really need to do is to raise the trans tunnel up by 80mm (approx) to get the motor to sit nice (Manual box). Do a search on my posts and you will find a thread on project.

 

Best of luck with the build, keep posting up the progress.
