David[RL] Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 1: check how much money you've got 2: multiply it by 3 3: now you know the answer :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 0x0 = not very much :P .. $10,000 to 15,000 ... to get everything done properly. Id say its more than your willing to spend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xany Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 (edited) ^^^^^ what he said. you can't just whack one in without major mods.....so yeah you'd be looking around those figures. Edited June 18, 2005 by Xany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styler Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 i think the ke35 is borderline on weight for a 2L forced induction, errrr runs off........ um um ok got the book, ok weight is stated at 864kg 864 x 2.5 for forced induction = 2160cc :P ke25 is 756kg and 1890cc forced induction limit. so ke35 is a bit heavier but there are so many 2L turbo motors to drop into it! i take it you didnt enjoy replacing seals every few months? a pp 13b would have hauled! so how come you chose sr20?

Super Jamie Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 yeah you'd probably be looking at 10-15k drive away. but we're not mechanics, so call around and get prices. look in magazines like fast fours for workshops that do this kind of work, or call around importers in your area and see if they either do the work, or can recommend someone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratty Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 sounds sweet dude SR35 haha that would be a good licence plate i have a ke35 too but I'm putting in a 4age motor in as it is still toyota and has reasonable power. I like your enthusium dude thats a lot of power for a ke35, sr20 dam that rolla is going to move fast if set up correctly, hope these lads (rollaclub) can help u out cause they have helped me out bigtime. The only advise that i can give u is save some money do some research and keep positive, cause its easier too give up than keep on going , just think of the end result u maybe one of a handfull of people that have that have done this conversion something to be proud of and have alot of fun in ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Jamie Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 and seriously, if you're just going from a stock car to an sr20det then think twice. even one of these cars with even 100kw is bordering on the limits of useability for the everyday driver. a turbo 2L would be a car you'd have to baby everywhere unless you were a VERY good experienced driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styler Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 (edited) hehe.... he has an exhaust for a 13b peripheral port that was in a ke35 with nos too! now there's some drivability issues, and an 11 second pass! as for everyday driving lol, so true. so many people think they can have a 10 second car and a daily driver in one car :P Edited June 18, 2005 by styler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 My cousin can second that! He drives a 10 second commodore ONLY when he feels the need to... at street meets. He has a KE30 for a daily driver for that reason. I personally think it should've been the other way around! Like what I'm doing.. the VT is my daily driver and I'll go spastic on the Rolla! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sr Rolla Posted June 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 LoL........Money for 1 is no real big issue...I was expecting around a 10 to 15 driveaway price for sr20 conversion anyway in a shop..I have sourced a half cut black top for my rolla for $1500...car already has a vl turbo diff with full spool,new 4:1:1...And upgraded rear and front discs..The fire wall has been moved back 100mm and gearbox tunnel raised by 70mm..So should be a straight drop in..I'm hoping to get the motor and gearbox sat in.Exhaust and front mount piping made up for say$3000.Through a mate.Then i can take the rest from there.I just thought i should just ask around anyway to see if anyone new anyone.Thanks.

Tiger Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 WOAH! Sounds like this thing is about to launch! This is a build up I gotta see! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Jamie Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 good :D if you handled that rx3 you can handle an sr corolla :) just we had no history on you, and god knows there's already too many clueless p platers who think they can handle "big powah" from the word go. good luck with the project!
