Hey guys i have just picked up my project ke1* and i have been thinking about what i am going to use to power the little thing..

 

and i started thinking rotary engines.. anybody know much about the conversions and are there any websites i could look at which may have some information on the conversion process..

 

 

i have been thinging about ported 12a and 13b carby motors..

 

any help would be great

 

Cheers

Matt

The very first thing you need to do is talk to an engineer to see what conversions are open to you.

yes i understand also i didnt mention that i am in NSW ..

 

what are other common performance engine conversions that have been performed on the ke1*

 

i would prefer a carby motor such as the 13b/12a as not having to go to the hassle of computers and efi systems etc: .. keep it plain and simple..

i might jsut add that you can't engineer a rotory in nsw.. but incase you feel like it anyways...

 

custom engine mounts needed

custom g/b x member

custom tailshaft

stock radiator wont be up to the task

tunnel will need abit of a massge

clutch set-up you can use the Hyraulic clutch set-up suitable for that gearbox

wiring

 

the list goes on......

my mate has a 20b ke20 that just hit a 7.9 down the quarter

rotaries are reserved for datsuns or whatever junk they came out in

 

don't put junk like rotaries in a toyota

:wink:

definately speak to an engineer, work out the largest engine you can put it (size to weight) then cross off 90% of your list :P and go from there...
