KE26 Wagon Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 OK Update time again. I am doing it on John's behalf as he is to busy running around buying parts for me and him to install. Last nights efforts included starting a dash, almost finishing the surge tank (yes its the wierdest looking one ever), mounting the battery. I havent finished making the dash, still another 3 gauges and lights and switches to go in, hopefully by the end of the week that will be done Due to the space requirements under the car after moving the leaf springs in 100mm and having to get rid of the original fuel tank there was no where for a 2l surge tank to go. So after much thinking I decided to put it in the drivers side rear compartment. As that is sikke20 (John) working on the car for proof he has done a few things on his car. hope you enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaygore Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Geee I wish victorias laws didnt suck, I simply cannot get a 13bt engineered for my ke20, but I am guessing the wagons are heavier as well :hmm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missheng Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 if you don't mind me asking how much did it cost you to get the engine and gear box fitter ?? planning on doing a 13b in a ke30 just need to find a shop to get it done at for a good price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13BT_KE20 Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 i originally got my car on the rd with the stock 13BT set-up w microtech, FMIC, exhaust for roughly $8K. Most of the work was done myself except some wiring, exhaust and a tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13bke26 Posted February 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 if i remember correctly i had the engine and box fitted, new manifold, tunnel, and some other little things done for just over 2k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
