cost to k swap an ej8?

[yeahSCOTTT]

roughly how much would it cost to kwap either k24 or k20 an ej8? cost of engine inc.

[u mad?]

10-15k

[lilthug]

over 9000

[Bludger]

EJ8's are shit, don't get it, you should look for a good condition EM1, much better car.

I've noticed also, most people that do their K swaps, very soon afterwards want to sell their car......

My own personal conclusion = K swap is shit.

go for a ride in a k-swap bludger

if you do the work yourself=great value for money
pay someone else to do it= good value for money (as apposed to building a b series)


but true that on everyone wanting to sell after they do it, maybe because they all loose there license from to much vtak lol.

[Bludger]

you gonna take me?

I'm accepting rides....

[u mad?]

come to cairns

i'll even let you drive it

Thursday night macca's, we'll go race all the asians

lmao.

(no racist)

[Bludger]

Starting to feel sorry for scotty.

all the threads he has started have been trolled by OHSC

lol

On our defense, he asks very mundane questions that have already been covered.

[u mad?]

hey i gave him a pretty accurate rough estimate on pricing.


Op you could have a very basic k24 package installed and tuned for around 11k if you wanted. That's paying someone else to do it.

Probably get around the 135kw atw mark with shitloads of torque with a cheapish setup like that.


EDIT- pricing will vary depending on who you go with and if you can source the parts cheap yourself.

besides the engine, u will need to upgrade the brakes to ITR, an the Rear brake conversion to cope as the power/speed , an with the extra weight at the front, better suspension to cope with the weight at the front.

[trism]

Extra weight? K20+box weighs less than a b18+box.


You don't need to do an itr brake swap, just a drum to disc swap and change the prop valve.

ninja edit lulz.

k20 is lighter than b18c7? k24a3 with 6sp gbox w/lsd lighter than c7 too?

[lilthug]

would having the exhaust run out of the back of the engine help with reduced weight with a k set up??

b series header and k series header probably .500-1kg different.
assuming both are ss header.

Lulz. Apparently about 10kg lighter than a b18c7.

So I reckon k24a+6speed would be like 2 kilos lighter than c7

[lilthug]

guess everykilo counts

I think he's getting at the fact that the k series doesn't sit as far back as the b? Dunno. I noticed no difference in handling going from b to k, though im no pro driver.

[SuperJDM.]

you can do it on your 7 - 8K budget

really? k-series ftw, lightness isnt the issue than

Its ideal though, considering that a standard euro runs 282mm with a big caliper, and if i recall, in order to engineer it, u need the same brakes from the donor vehicle, though dont quote me on that

[mocchi]

i got some data here. (C7 & K24A3 coming up)

B16A2 (add deducted weight if you have aux components)
-no ac & bracketry (-10.5kg)
-no ps & bracketry (-4kg)
-no header (oem b16a -12kg)
-no LSD (-??kg)
-no valve cover (-3kg)
-midshaft attached
-lightweight crank pulley (-3kg)
-oem b16a flywheel

1st try: 92kg & 71.5kg
2nd try: 77.2kg & 88.8kg

average: 162.5kg

I don't think its donor vehicle. You just have to have brakes that are able to handle the increase in speed that a bigger motor can bring.

And by changing rear drums to discs, and maybe putting the next size up calipers and rotors.

So for example, in an ed, you'd put the bigger rotors and calipers from a da teg, and a rear disc swap from anything compatible.

Combine this with a 40/40 prop valve, and dc2r 1" master cylinder, you'd be fine I'd imagine.

assuming youre not gonna diy
