    Smile KE70 upgrade options - request

    Hey guys
    I finally let go of my supercharged fwd seca and Ive stuck it out with toyota and moved to a 1984 RWD 4spd manual KE70. It has a hi-cam 4k (boat anchor)

    Rather than spend 3 hours reading chit-chat on the dedicated thread, could someone please summarise (or point me to the right place for) the common engine/gbox combinations and suspension upgrades for KE70s?

    My current plan is:
    1. S13 front strut conversion
    2. s13 coilovers & brakes
    3. front and rear sway bar
    4. custom spring and shock absorber combo for rear
    5. 100kw 4age install

    How difficult is it to do:
    ca18det conversion?
    sr20det?
    13b? (man a rotor ke70 would be sick)

    I would really appreciate some high level summary info (i.e. engine and gearbox combinations that work etc).

    Cheers all
    Daniel

    use search function

    no seriously... or use google to do a site search...
    "ke70 conversion" etc
    i was just looking up KE70 S13 conversion stuff last night and every little thing you need to know has already been covered in detail...
    try looking at the threads i bumped up last night

    as for 4AG.. err.. they came with 4A in the AE71.. so it is a small step from there.

    yeah mate been covered to death.

    s13 front suspension upgrade is well tested and easy to do, as are ca and sr conversions. ive not long done an sr conversion in one car and am about to start a ca conversion in the other, too easy. having said that if you had to ask you will probably struggle.
