June 18, 200521 yr comment_51283 yes, i heard of a v6 commodore motor in a ke30 that ran exactly the same time as one that had a worked celica 18R in it verdict: too heavy, bogan material :P Report
June 18, 200521 yr comment_51285 Hey dude! Welcome to RollaClub... I was wondering when you were gonna look into this forum :P This would be a good conversion for a drag strip car, as it would be nose heavy... There was a KE35 rolling shell for sale which had a Commodore V6 and provision for a TH700R auto tranny. The guy wanted $2500 just for the shell. So it can be done.. but it won't be suited as a daily driver. Report
June 18, 200521 yr Author comment_51288 yeah i been around for a while just havent got around to posting till now there was supposed to be 1 at calder friday night gone but i couldnt get there Report
June 19, 200521 yr comment_51328 Does this count? :) WAGZ-O-DEATH!!! Beat me to it! Bwahahahahahaha!!!!!!! V6 KE38 :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D We drove the wagon-o-death in the wet for the first time in the wet today... It has much in common with it's ragtag owner; Neither of us like the cold, and we like getting wet in the cold even less. /Off topic Edited June 19, 200521 yr by wyldephyre Report
June 19, 200521 yr comment_51333 Has anyone considered a turbo Hyabusa engine. In england they put them in minis and can get 400 ponies out of them. Obviously space is not a prob and anything can be engineered to match anything for a price. Report
June 19, 200521 yr comment_51338 Very hard to engineer a bike engine in a car, due to emissons problems (bikes are complianced differently to cars). I have no doubt that a Hyabusa engine would probably be better than a K engine in terms of emissions, but unfortunately what I think isn't enough to convince "them people who govern the ADRs", so you'll have to go through the whole process of emissions testing, which costs a lot of money.

August 1, 200521 yr comment_61724 there is a blue '55 on ebay at the moment with a vp commo v6 in it at the moment. $500!!! Report

I'd also like to know what sort of torque the busa engine has...... Man the engine bay would look stark! Report
August 1, 200521 yr comment_61732 I doubt a busa engine would have any amazing torque figures, it is after all a 1300cc engine... Report
August 2, 200521 yr comment_61749 I have a mate who claims that the Hayabusa motor actually isn't that bad for torque, but I find it hard to believe that a 1300cc N/A motor making a such a high power figure wouldn't be peaky. Turbo motors might be a different case. Report
August 2, 200521 yr comment_61785 I have a mate who claims that the Hayabusa motor actually isn't that bad for torque no performance or cruise bike over 1L is bad for torque not when it's only moving 200-odd kg, including rider, anyway Report
