philbey Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Forget it. It will be difficult, expensive and will be slow. For the money you spend you could put a much better motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmac80 Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 ? Wouldn't be slow! Def not compared to a k motor. And he's already got the motor. Your biggest problem is the gbox. Get friendly with CAD of some sort and you should be able make a bell adaptor plate. Then you got mounts to build. Then all the normal shit. Efi gear and brakes to do. Manifolds might need attention. Depends how much you can fab yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philbey Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 (edited) I still maintain it will be slower, for the money spent, than another conversion. That's including the purchase price. A good CA18DET with all the gear like comp loom and box will be 1000 bucks and you could fit that in much easier than the E15. What about the oil pump pickup, dizzy, water pipework, flywheel/clutch setup. A FWD-RWD conversion like this won't be expensive because of the cost of the motor, it will be expensive because of the fiddly little jobs like those. EDIT - And yes it will be slow because ET pulsars are slow. And shit. I'd rather have syphillis. :lolcry: Edited November 10, 2010 by philbey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snot35 Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 It would cheaper to buy another Pulsar from the same era and put it in that. Or sell it and stick something already RWD and probably more powerful in the KE70. You could do it, but why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 (edited) Have a look on datsun1200.com for RWD E15ET conversions if you can find any. Edited November 10, 2010 by Felix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Being a previous N12 ET owner, I suggest to convert the K motor you have to a turbo, you can get the same gains and it will be less work. Philbey, they aren't exactly a slow car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towe001 Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 EDIT - And yes it will be slow because ET pulsars are slow. And shit. I'd rather have syphillis. :lolcry: My comment on that is - Does the block have the drilled and tapped spots where the engine mounts would be bolted to ? Does it have anything for the engine mounts to be bolted to the block for a rwd setup ? Like the 4a-f block i have sitting in my shed. That doesn't have the spots for the engine mounts making it a rather pointless waste of time in saying - I'm going to throw that in my rwd car when it can't. Well, it can, but....

I can't remember, all I can remember is the 2 meters of air intake they have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyota_ae71 Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 I agree with Philbey on this one, for the amount of money/time spent on doing it. It's not going to be that great, don't get me wrong they're a great little motor and go alright, i just think money could be spent wiser elsewhere. My 2 cents.

philbey Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 I'll admit I'm pretty anti et so ky bias might show. I had a couple of mates that dropped lots of dough building hot et's and they never had much on my ca18det poobird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made a total of 86kw, bluetop 4age does that in N/A form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLW42 Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 there is a big thread in the engine conversions page for 4kct, Get a turbo ca, ae crossmember go onto 86dc and buy a ca into ae crossmember mounting kit for like 300bucks then spend some money on wiring it up + fuel system and bang instant skids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozman Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 ET's aren't slow, i used to have one, it was ace, never had mechanical issues with the engine all the issues i had were ecu and wiring, as it is old skool crap, like real SHIT!!!!!!! mine made 120kw at the wheels, lean as all crap with 9psi and rx7 cooler, its all power tho, torque wasn't great saying that tho there are better options, ca18 is an easy swap and has more potential if you were to do it, there would be some thought involved in engine mounts, sump and pick up, dizzy could be a problem and water inlet/outlets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
