qaiser khan Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Hello every one..... i am a new member and u guys can see my ride in the members gallery area. previously this ride was being used by my elders but now its in my custody and wants to replace the engine as the stock engine is wearing out and is now consuming engine oil (1 liter to 2500 KM's) please advice me about the engine, keeping in mind that the car is totally in the stock condition, stock gear box (4 forward), stock differential and stock seats and body parts.... please also keep in mind that i am living in pakistan so i can buy an old motor (slightly used) easily rather then a new motor... please also advise me about the differentials, brakes and gear box...

7FOUR7 Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Throw a 3tc in, cheap as chips and shot on any k motor. Also I have custom engine mounts to bolt one straight into a ke20 if you're interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benhachi Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 A 5k is the easiest and cheapest bang for buck. I went 2tgeu never again... Massive headache, it goes now though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
