hey all,

 

just wondering what engines i can put into a ke11, and how easy they go in?

 

(example) the 5k how easy do they go in, what else will i have to change? and do you recomend them?

 

also would like to know what engine you would recomend to put into a ke11?

 

Oviously I'm just looking for more power and a good reliable engine, i have heard of people putting 5k's into the ke11's but then its increased the power by sweet f@$k all,

 

And if you have any idea on prices that would be sweet, and if you have a ke11 with an engine upgrade feel free to post up some pics.

 

cheers haydo.

go to the members' rides' thread' and check out all the ke1x's there... or use the search function up the top.

 

they're your best friends when it comes to rollaclub :)

4age maybe an sr20 or if you feelin lucky 3sg(T!!!)e.

 

Prices, depends who does the work.

 

IIRC the bay is a little smaller than all the other rollas ?

KE11 bay is smaller than most rollers BUT the distance from strut tower to strut tower is wider than a KE20 useless fact.

 

BUT as for engine I just did a 5K into a KE15 piece of piss bolt in. But due to its size can screw up extractors a bit. But search for my ride and u will get a more detailed look at my KE15.

 

But I met a guy the other week who does composite work on helicopters who also builds victor brays drag car shells. And he met a guy at willow bank the other week who owns a KE15 sprinter since new the guy is about 68 years old. He has modded it over the years and now runs a chev 350 cubic inch supercharged motor in a KE15. And he refuses to sell the car..LOL Looks hot to is bright red.

 

So as is you can fit from a K motor to a big V8 in it so pends on how much work you want to do etc.

 

But id got 7K personally. The cars are light as piss the KE1X cars and hey 7K with SC14 or turbo on it would hammer so get a 7K.

Talk to an engineer. He will rule out all but 1 engine listed above in my opinion.

ye i could but its for work so i don't wana go to crazy just piston for this one. :)

its not that crazy, they're small and powerful. To get similar power from a piston requires an engine larger than a rotor.

 

Still i reckon that chucking a ridiculous amount of money at the standard 1.1L (or watever) would be freakin cool
