KE30_RoLLa Posted May 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 oh right sweet as ! also out of curiosity could it be street registered ? I'm guessing it be a no, since you have to cut the firewall... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinky Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 it could be street registered if you have a lot of money and like to visit the engineering shop to get it certified and legal but i would think the amount of work and money involved you would have to start considering if it would really be worth it. i noticed you only joined a few days ago so really spend a bit of time looking through the technical build threads and the engine conversion thread and see whether its rally the conversion that you wish to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloth Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) 1jz engine?.... no shit! Seriously though, I thought this thread would have received a lot more flaming (was looking for a good laugh). I think it's possible to put anything into anything, all it takes it time, money, effort etc. I thought that the limit of what you could put in a KE was 2.4 litres (hence it would be more "tricky" to get a 2.5 JZ legally in). I can't remember where I read that though (and I guess it also depends on the state etc). The issue I'd assuming that you'd have though with a JZ in a KE3x would be the same as putting a v6 in there, or a JZ in an AE86.... the lead tipped arrow. When you start to mess around with weight like that it can seriously impair the handling (or so I've heard). If you want to go straight though or have power it would probably be a monster. EDIT: to back up my claim of "you can put anything into anything", I've seen a Mini and MR2 with jet engines and pretty sure I've seen a go-kart with a k engine...

jimmy-d Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) A quick investigation says that a ke30 weighs around 880kg so according to National Code of Practice, 880 X 4= 3520,therefore, 3.52 ltr max normally aspirated.If turbo or S/C multiply weight by 2.75, this equates to 2.42 ltr. If the weight I have used is wrong,substitute correct weight to same equation. Still need to confirm ok with engineer though!

BUZ440 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Sounds like you could even go the 1G-GTE motor, then your in 2L territory and there is a plethora of engines in that size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are refering to OKE020, ummm she's a KE20 not a '55 lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUZ440 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 oh right sweet as, well do you know if it can actually happen ? or would it be like the 1JZ lots of fab work... It would be a torquey motor, but for the effort of getting it in there stick to a 4 cylinder, there is a gemini getting around QLD with this motor in it, and is rather quick and legal you might be able to get away with a 1.5J motor, given the previous weight and engine size, depepending how you go about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KE30_RoLLa Posted May 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 okay so with the 1.5j has anyone known that this conversion has happened and will it be legal and ive seen a ke30 4door with a 1GGTE in it and it was street legal in NSW so I'm assuming I'm able to fit the 1GGTE in my car..

ke70dave Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 i don't think a 1.5J actually exists. its just a 2j block with a 1j head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
