hey guys, just wondering how much work would be involved in putting a 5k or 7k into my ke30?

 

would it require work on the fire wall, trans tunnel etc? and would i alson need to get a different gearbox or could i jus stick with the 4spd it has atm?

 

cheers

This is about as easy as engine conversions get! No firewall mods, no trans tunnel mods and you should be able to stick with your current gearbox. It probably will require exhaust modification because they have a higher deck height than the 3K IIRC. The 7K definitely does but not 100% sure about the 5K.

I recenttly converted to a 7K in my KE30. The only thing you really have to modify is the sump (has to be cut and shut to clear the cross memeber). I used the stock 3K engine mounts and it fits no worries.

Exhaust should be fine if using the 5K.....no mods needed there either :P

Same situation with the 7K, I'm still using my complete KE30 exhaust.

Dude just a quick little rant, before you go ahead and post up a new topic you must search the engine conversions database as there are numorous topics on the topic of 7k conversions. Just a heads up for the future.
