thought i should put some info up on my build.

 

it wasnt easy to find pics and stuff so i thought this might help ive got heaps of pics to up load

 

cost....

engine, auto box with cross members and every thing $800

manuel box $150 but may need a new one from rotary shop $700

 

custom engine mounts and cross member and the headers fab $600

 

this is all so far.

 

fare bit of hours though cutting old mounts out ie

 

ill put pics up soon any question ill try my best to answer

Sounds interesting... Just wondering what car your gonna put it in? ;)

So your finally putting up a project thread hey?

 

Good to hear ;)

 

Hasnt been too expensive a build yet has it ;)

 

can't remember is it turbo? And did you decide on a diff yet mate?

 

Travis.

Won't be turbo if he's paying that much for a motor.

S4/5 import donks are still fetching around $1500. ;)

lol its a ke55

 

no non turbo just for now. cost so far isnt to much but the time i spend thinking about it is heaps.

 

ill prob go Ts diff like you said. I'm not chasing huge hp.

 

 

the gear box cross member was the easyest (my welder said) just used the corolla one cut the middle out see were the bolts sat and welded the whole up and drilled to new wholes looks really good

 

i just need to work out how to post pics and ill show you all

 

 

 

cheers steve-o

sorry grammer was really bad there

oh yea and fly wheel $88 and clutch was $130

slave and master i think $140

 

 

 

need to paint it all and neaten it all up

 

but thats it so far

 

had to cut the corolla xmember to fit the rota in

Looks sweet man ;)

 

Make sure you use some decent paint, even some rust preventative and high temp paint too ;)

 

Do it black for the stock look :?

 

Good work.

 

Travis.

Any more progress ? More pics ? looks great so far. I am interested in doing this as well. Not until I get another daily though.

Whereabouts are you ? Any forseeable problems regarding rego ? :rock:

 

Great to see your pics too.

 

Keep it going. :P

 

Cheers,

Darryl

I'm in canberra.

 

the reason for no progress is because i want it done right

 

so that means money.

 

need a new gear box so thats 700 i don't have but in the next few weeks ill be swapping them over and the rad goes in aswell as over flow,oil catch can,

hoses and a gilmer drive kit. oh and a weber.

 

no dramas with the law its got good mounts and will have every thing done i.e brakes suspension.

 

just hoping it will go well for a stocker with a web on it.

 

other wise ill crack it open and port it.

oh and i don't have a camera

please don't pay $700 for a gearbox

 

you should be about to pick up a S2/3 box for $200ish that will be plenty strong enough for an NA motor
