hu guys, i would like to repower my ke20. it has a 4k and 5sp atm but i would like to know if a 2t or 3t motor would bolt straight in? any other engines? 18R etc? apparently you have to convert to a hydraulic clutch with a 3t.

what capacity is a 3t?

yeah mate you have to convert to hydro clutch if you went 2t/3t or 18r.

3tc is 1.8 and APPARENTLY with the right engine mounts its a bolt in job.

Nope. Only K motors are a bolt in job. T motor sits further forward, so you either need to modify your crossmember or your engine mounts, or both. T motor sits approximately 20mm further over than a K motor, so you should (although some don't...) also mod your gearbox crossmember.

 

You will also need to mod your pedal assy to cater for the hydro clutch. Not hard, but it's time. I got a 27 pedal assy for mine and fit that. Although that isn't a direct bolt in either.

 

Radiator also needs to be modded if you want to do it right. T motor into a 20 also means a different swaybar, as the standard gets in the way of the sump.

 

Search around the forum as well. This topic has been covered before.
