Ke50wagon Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 I just brought a ke50 wagon its white and the origanal ower passed away 3 years ago i brought it for 100$ and hosed it let it dry for a day or so then buffed it properly it has 1 spec of rust from the roof racks. I want to convert to a turbo engine for the clutch has warn out though it actualy started with a new battery though after 3 years and not changing the oil the buzzer sounded and the red light sounded. I spoke the machanic who origanly serviced her he qouted 350 for the clutch pluss labour ontop so 500$ I'm keen to spend say 4000 i seen a recon 13b for 2600 so ino its going to be more than buying a ls1 vy which comes rego'd and ready but when i was 19 i owned ithink the ke80 or something it was a sedan pearl white with pursuit rims on it. So is this going to blitz for 4 or 5 grand guys. I'm the 2nd owner she is cleannnn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezzaclub Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 That's a pretty small budget, unless you're talking motor only. You'll need a hydraulic clutch setup & pedal box, crossmember sortout, beefy gearbox, new driveshaft, new diff... Nothing in there will handle much horsepower. We recently priced a 4AGE conversion & suspension/brakes upgrades, came to $10,000 with a few grand in there for labour. That's the simplest, as all the parts come stock from Toyota.
