GJM85 Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 (edited) I've spent almost 20000$ on my ke20. Full restoration, rebuild and conversion to twin sidedraft 5k. I've managed this much in 8 months. Real toys cost money. Realistically You wouldn't get out of a decent sr20 conversion and rebuild for less than 20k and probably 30k for the J motor. You can sit down and think your gonna get out of it budget cos your good with a welder, but to do it right first time....your kidding yourself.... Yeah you might get it in there for less but over the next year or two you'll weed out yourr problems and realise you've blown the budget.

ke70dave Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 thank you all, if you don't want to help me then fine, just stop flaming me. for all you that have halped, thanks for all those who just hate me, get lost and thank you for viewing my thread. plz no more replies as there are douches out there that will flame me and you for stuff. (how do you close threads) its not that we hate you or are intentionally trying to flame you... but i think you will appreciate that if we gave an itemised required parts list (with prices) for 4age/sr20/3sge conversion into ke** for every one that asked for one, we would be writing lists all day. not to mention that prices are always variable, so in reality they don't mean much anyway. and considering that all the information required for all of these conversions already exists somewhere, there is no real need for us to start listing stuff in every thread on this topic (about once every 3 days a thread like this comes up). else i may as well just write up the list, save it on my desktop, and every time someone asks "what do i need and how much does it cost to put a 4age in my Ke**" i should just ctrl+c and ctrl+v. a viable option maybe, but that just encourages laziness. so the idea is, you go away and do your own research on each of the conversions, spend hours, days, weeks researching, copy and pasting to ms word, saving photos into a directory for reference later. keep doing this untill you have covered every aspect of the conversion from cooling, wiring, manifolds, bolts, what parts you should buy new (clutch, spigot bearing etc) and then if you have some specific things that you do not understand or need clarification on , then you ask, and people will be happy to help if you can show that you have put some effort into understanding but just haven't got there yet. before i even bought the first thing i required for my 4age conversion, i had folders and folders of tech articles, photos, saved posts from people. all with very good information that i knew i would need. so when issues arrose during the conversion i had the info already there. which came in handy at 11am on a Saturday when i realised i needed a part from the wreckers and the wreckers closed in 30mins! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HayzTawil Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Spot on, good luck with the conversion if u still decide to go ahead with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ke30 4 350 Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I'm still going ahead with it, looks like everyone says a 5k so i'll be starting with that and then maybe later the sr20. thanks for everyones help (btw i don't intend to leech, but i don't seem to be able to do any solid amounts of research as i start and something happens and i hav to stop etc. so i figured this was a good way 2 find out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abbott Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/50163-defected-ke30-3tc/page__pid__514150#entry514150 buy that get it freighted for 500, use trade plates from your work drive it home strip it and swap it over. Strip the shell and make some money back and your set. I think you'll find that to be enough power for you for now and when you crash it or destroy the engine parts are cheap. Just my opinion of what I would do. Cheers Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meltem Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 My corolla had a 1j, it needed alot of work, eg bigger tunnel and recessed fire wall, I think the biggest u can go in nsw keeping legal is a sr20 non turbo or a ca18 turbo, they did just change the compasity laws, just ring an engineer and ask the question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
