KE70 swap - Drifting forum

Diskovod · 08-05-2008, 19:13

My mate got a Coolrolla KE70 DX (coupe) - 800kgs of japanese tyteness.
He also got a 4K-monster inside equipped with 60 hp or something... So he wants to swap the 4K with 4AGE 20v.
4AGE shipped from Japan w/ gearbox would be about £850 here.
Buuuut by now a local guy sells a nice 1G-GTE (inline-6, 2 litre twin-turbo sexyness) from his GA70 for only £350! The guy wanna swap 1G with 1JZ, so he sells the current engine. I can also get a W55 for cheap if he won't sell his gearbox and help my mate to install the new engine. But he is afraid that 1G-swap might ruin his perfectly balanced lightweight rolla.

What should we do?

p.s. Do AE86 suspension parts fit KE70?

OK, 1G, straight 6?, is going to be heavy. And then try going to buy some spares for it. The 850 notes I reckon is for a blacktop with a loom? I reckon a standard 4age with loom could be had for peanuts. This would double you're horsepower in a 800 kilo chassis. I recommend you do a search on KE70 + AE86. The downside is the cheap JDM tyteness is going to cost AE86 money for AE86 parts. From the top of my head, crossmember to mount a 4A will not be peanuts, a T50 gearbox, driveshafts etc. Keep it standard and mint for a few years, sell it for +bucks
