I'm vary interested in how oke020 managed to fit his 253 into his KE20 with out any mods, we are in the stages of doing this same coversion, unless u remove the sump or cross member, wich we know just wouldnt work haha, the only way around it is to mod fire wall,

Madtoy: what car have you got a 308 in? KE30 or KE70? what did you have to do to get it in there? just engine mounts, gearbox mounts and custom tailshaft? firewall mods at all? i read in another thread you said it could be done for around a grand.

Cheers, calvin :faq:

calvin.......ive got 308 into ke30,just modify front x-member,no firewall mods needed...I'm thinking of making a kit to sell........and yes $1000 will get u going...the power skids are amazing.....just an update,ive recently run 12.79secs with 185/60/14s,huge amounts of wheelspin...I'm currently fitting 15x7 weld racing wheels with 235/60/15 ET radials....all under standard wheel tubs!!! ive also discovered a very cheap way to make cal-tracs(like tramp rods) which bolt straight to underside of leaf springs,and mount to front of hanger using a fabricated bracket!!!! These arms prevent diff twisting and stop axle tramp,using pintarra parts...thats all I'm saying for now! but i think alot of rear wheel drive yota boys will be happy with my solution...keep you all posted.............madtoy

sounds wicked mad toy. how far forward does the 308 sit madtoy?

also those times, is the engine stock???

Corolla + 308 = Drag Car or Summernats Burnout Car

 

 

Thats what I had in mind by putting a Commodore (3.8L) V6 into my KE55

lol finally ive found an engine conversion topic I'm interested in. Hmm might have to start my own thread or just ask ere hmmmmmmmmm

Yuppie :P

hey man if you want a good track car put a 13bturbo rotary it will weight stuff all and you will get better handling and as much power as a 308 but if do a rotary conversion get a fuel injected 1 not carby a v8 is just stupidity for a track car it will handle like a sack of shit

hahahahahahaha

hay darren, i own that RB30 turbs rolla now. its a fukin animal, but has had abit of money spent on it b4 i bought it.
