$$$ & Reality - Swaps Into Ke70S?

[Willis]

Yeah I know I would like to get it ready to get one track day in before matsuri as it will be like driving a whole new car with steering rack and completely different braking system with no booster.

 

Also I just bought another T18 which may be there as well.

 

So you're driving in Matsuri too?? Keen. There's a few Toyotas in there. It's going to be mad fun.

 

And Slowlearner, no I'm not saying that a 4AGE conversion is as expensive as a BEAMS conversion because it just isn't. But it can be expensive if you let it. 20v's are a more costly conversion than a 16v.

I've spent anywhere from $6,500 to $7,500 on my 20v conversion and that's my friends and I doing most of the work. I've heard of people getting away with $10,000 for a BEAMS AE86 doing all the work themselves. Do the math..

Yeah ill be driving the uz72 at matsuri if it's done which it should, haha. Otherwise might make a mad dash and lock and lower the other T18 if it's not done, haha.

[slowlearner]

out of curiosity, driveline and brakes would i need for a 16v conversion?

Depends what struts you upgrade to.

 

I'm going to use Corona xt130 struts/brakes converted to coil overs. Upgrade the master cylinder to a Pajero in case I wanna go bigger brakes again. Possibly 60 series if I can find the other caliper.

AE86 brakes are fine. You'll need AE71 running gear. Have a look here on the forum and you'll get more of an idea of what you want/need

As stated it really does depend on the price you get stuff I got 90% of my 4age conversion for $400 :P

So for me to put the smallport in has cost sub 1.5k.

[slowlearner]

so a 4AG ke70 will get through a NSW blue plate without a brake upgrade?

No? AE86 brakes would be required. As a minimum.
