Snoozin Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Cheap power is pretty much a terrible idea. Especially when you're converting to a different engine, it's basically completely unrealistic unless you want it to be a total piece of shit. 2 Quote
Testament Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 not this thread again. nothing worth doing is cheap and easy. 3 Quote
Mitch.W Posted June 6, 2014 Author Posted June 6, 2014 Ok i'm not looking for cheap power... just don't want to break the bank. Might just go with my orignal plans of a sr20det with a t28bb and link... Quote
Mitch.W Posted June 6, 2014 Author Posted June 6, 2014 not this thread again. nothing worth doing is cheap and easy. By cheap i was meaning 3kish... Quote
Rookie Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 And you want to spend 1.5k on an ecu lol. Just put a rotor back in it and call it job done. 2 Quote
flyingbrick Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 3k is CHEAP Mitch.. And really not possible for anything worthwhile. Break down costs of swap and you easily get past that Quote
Mitch.W Posted June 6, 2014 Author Posted June 6, 2014 anyone willing to put money down on this? Quote
Mitch.W Posted June 6, 2014 Author Posted June 6, 2014 And you want to spend 1.5k on an ecu lol. Just put a rotor back in it and call it job done. Ash much as i would like to put a rotor back in it.. 1.5-2k but buy an engine 6k to rebuild then clutch and gearbox etc... its about 10k for the engine setup on its own.. Quote
Rookie Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 You know how you are planning to bodge a piston motor in there? Yea well, you can bodge a rotor too. Quote
Testament Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 ok done http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/chevrolet/engines/auction-736065860.htm 1 Quote
Goat Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Buy an unknown rotor and box off trademe for 1500. Wack a carb on it. Run it on premix. Do some underpowered skids til it pops. 4 Quote
Testament Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 a setup that bolts in and works with whatever mounts/driveshaft etc. you have is going to be so much easier than any kind of engine swap. also carby will be easier. you can put an sr/jz/big block in but it will be a bunch of custom fab work and little issues and many skinned knuckles etc. fine if you want to do that. but even the $1500 drillport 12a of questionableness will cost you $3000 in total by the time you get it in there. if you are prepared to spend more, take more time and effort do whatever the heck you like not telling you not to, just telling you its not easy being green.
