---KE20--- Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 hey guys i am a noob here and i am looking for some information on my ke20. At this stage she is bog stock apart from some rims and a 4k motor, but all this is about to change. I will be completly rebuilding her with some sort of turbo motor(at this stage its a ca18det). What i need to know is who has built a 20, what alternative engine, brakes, suspension, chassis strengthening if any, diffs, any information that can help me would be greatly appreciated. I will be pushing whatever motor i put into her to make some decent power say 250-300hp. I'm not going to muck around with this build i will be taking my time to build it right first time. cheers in advance guys joshy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jono Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 yeah, up to 1.9 litre turbo is allowed in NSW. Depending on the build, some get sr20det engineered too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

13bke26 Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 I'm putting a ca18det into mi ke26 wags...a tad different to a ke20 but not much...but same principles apply.. brakes I'm going to get a hopper stoppers kit, struts I'm going to convert the standard struts to coilovers, diff = hilux, gearbox = jatco 3spd, custom tailshaft with loop. I'm going for 350rwhp. as for chassis work i don't think ill really do anything... front end steering is getting rebuilt.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you need to customise your tunnel to fit the ca box in? cheers for the info joshy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13bke26 Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 yes crossmember is going to be modified and new engine mounts are going to be made.. The tunnel is going to be modified a little bit to fit the jatco. but I'm still not sure how much as I'm still stripping the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
