Engine Conversion

tdiplc · February 5, 2004

i cannot find anywhere that does tuning bits for the Cologne engine............

ahem...........we used to do lots of Cologne engines, we even made our own aluminium 6 port cylinder heads, 3.6 litre stroker conversions, and triple Weber carb kits for them.

Not a nice engine by todays standards.

What you NEED in there is the glorious Toyota 3ZU V8 which is currently in the HKS Drag Supra producing 1500hp and doing 6 second quarter mile passes :o That's going some :)

Thats an intresting site Mat,i've been looking at it for ages very informative.

If you want i can get Darrone to look up on the Ford site for info on the Cologne engines?

Monster-Mat · February 5, 2004

it is a good site isnt it pete.

i cannot belive the price of a brand new 4.6 v8, with all ancils.....£4600 :)

supra 6 speed box from another conversion site i found ....£1700

adaptor plate for v8-6 speed....£200

so the V8 route is looking favorable...

still need a sd1 loom though.........

yes pete, any info you can get on the Cologne engines would be great, especially HP and Torque figures, and if they have the info on this engine with the turbotechnics conversion.

MARK.......what would you do....Cologne v6 with turbo or V8 or any other options.....im also considering an Altezza front clip from japan...

if you can get me the Toyota 3ZU V8 then i will fit it :winky:

RPI also do a boxer manifold with 4 SU's for the V8

Theres a turbo technics crapi on eBay with a single turbo v6 they say its a 200 bhp affair

I think I would be more inclined to fit a serious 3SGT engine

is that £4600 good then Mat - man I am in the wrong league here!!

kev dood · February 5, 2004

plus, wouldn't a non turbo car be better for drifting??

Monster-Mat · February 5, 2004

a serious 3s-gte costs serious money though.....

heres a question mark, how much are the TODA racing 3s-gte engines..

and say....just say i fitted a 3s- i still have to integrate the electronics with the rest of the car.......back to the same situation i am with, with the v8

a V8 would produce ample controlable torque for drifting.......and the sound......oh the sound

lexicon · February 5, 2004

but i have found this site for the V8, the price of the new engines is very tempting
V8 tuning

I was gonna post that link but you beat me to it.

I got my exchange motor/cam & dizzy from them a few years back - they seem quite good to deal with.

How about these Mat:

I was looking on eBay yesterday and they had two supra twin turbo

engines on there for sale £1500(not sure you would want to go down that route again)....and a 8 litre v10 from a dodge ram over 300 bhp standard !

and a bmw v12 5 litre ( the whole car for 5K ).

Monster-Mat · February 6, 2004

im also now considering getting an LS400 and whipping the stuff out of that....

pete you got the links to that stuff on eBay i cannot find it....

mark, any pricing on the toda stuff

and an ecu to run the who shebang

Scorpion · February 6, 2004

How much torque is alot of torque?

I know nothing about Rover engines, but look at the Lexus 1UZFE, you can mate a V160 to it or even a W58 (custom Bellhousing). There is one for sale here in OZ, with twin TO4's on it! 1UZFE's are very plentiful!

Have a look here

cough cough, did someone say BMW engine!!

How about a Jag V12?? Guess too big? Could mid mount something??

In Australia, the Lexus V8 (1UZFE) is readily available, and getting more and more pupular for killer conversions! There is a place here in Sydney who have bellhousings to suit V160 or W58 from the JZA80 that will bolt right up to the 1UZFE. The 1UZFE is miles ahead of our Holden and Ford V8's, which do punch out alot of power, but in terms of reliability and strength, nothing beats the 1UZFE!!!
