E15Et Engine Into Ke70?

[d1ke]

Hey just a ponder I have a Nissan E15ET engine with 20 thow oversize forged pistons

stage 3 cam japanese inlet manifold cooler and microtech MT4 ecu from a FWD Nissan pulsar ET turbo

 

Wondering if any one has put it into a KE70 corolla?

and if so how hard is it and where can i find a transfer plate for the gearbox is probly my biggest worry

Forget it. It will be difficult, expensive and will be slow. For the money you spend you could put a much better motor.

[greenmac80]

? 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.

[philbey]

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:

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?

Have a look on datsun1200.com for RWD E15ET conversions if you can find any.

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.

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.

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]

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.

What do you expect tho from a weak ass 1.5 SOHC turbo motor?

 

They made a total of 86kw, bluetop 4age does that in N/A form.

[d1ke]

cheers for the help guys probly just going to turbo the 4k for now while I'm building my 4age should be fun :D btw any tips? ie decompress engine, different cams, change carbi ?

[SLW42]

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

[pozman]

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
