Just A Question...

[JJT036]

Hey guys,

 

I just want to know what's required for a Beams 3S-GE + 6-speed Conversion into a Ke36 Panelvan?

 

Would it involve using Angle Grinders, Welding, Fabricating?

 

It sounds like a pretty cool conversion. I just want to know what's required to do it.

 

And I also want to know what's also required for VIC RWC?

 

Cheers, Josh :cool:

your old man will love it because you wont be able to drive it till your off your p's :)

 

vic roads = engineers

 

engineers = brake upgrade and money

Haha. I'm gonna stick with the 4K for the moment. What brakes should I use 'cause I was planning on doing the conversion after my P's. :)

If your asking you probably don't have the skills and if you do have the skills you shouldn't be asking, But yes lots of fabrication for mounts. Also a fair whack of wiring for an after market ECU.

Ok then. Would I be better off dropping it off to a Workshop that does Full Engine Swaps and leave them to it?

Yeah. I just want to focus on getting Ollie finished now for the Road, so I can cruise in it on my L's and P's.

 

When I get a job, I'll put all the money aside for the conversion. I'm still 50/50 on it.

 

It'll definitely be after my P's. :)

Its a lot of money either way. Do you want to blow that much money on a ke36 corolla ? Are you going to keep it for a long time ?

I plan on keeping it until it dies - hopefully not into a car/pole! I just want to know what's required to do the conversion. If there's too much to do, I'll stick to the good ol' 4K. :)

Yeah. If I decide not to do the conversion, I'll spend the money on a Worked 5K with Twin-Sidies - something I can do ON my L's and P's. Then I'll throw on a SC12 on the Day I get the Full License. :)

Whats your budget $10,000 ? $5,000 ?

 

Personally id build a k motor.

[Evan G]

k motors are the best thinks to tinker. not much to them. do the basic mods to get impressive results (exhaust/weber/cam and headwork)

I don't have a budget yet. I think I might stick with the K-Motor. Work it, Low-Comp, Intercooled SC12, and Twin-Sidies. :)

do the suspension first! don't worrie about power when your learning to drive or on your red P. worrie about power when you know how to use it!
