Hi people my friend was wondering if it would be possible to put a rs turbo engine in her ka obviously she wont wanna do it herself so she was wondering if there is any garage that could possibly do it???

 

Everythings possible dude, but I would encourage her not to bother

The CVH is such a crap engine, she's better off with the small block Kent based engine in the KA as standard [except the sportKA with the zetec Se lump].

I would suggest she spends sensible money on a Zetec lump and turbo's that instead, if she needs a turbo, or does the popular throttle body conversion that can get around 200bhp without the fear of melting engines due to turbo's

There's a guy on here from Turkey with a Ka on throttle bodies... can;t remember the name tho

 

speak to jam-sport they did a ka rs turbo conversion!

 

Quote: "except the sportKA with the zetec Se lump"

Sportka has a Duratec 8v 1.6 engine.

The Zetec-SE is fitted in the Puma, exclusively afaik.

 

Yes, it is possible. i know someone who had a f rst engine in theres. was pretty quick aswell.

Easily possible. The guy who did both those web-sites (Sy) has alredy done one and is 90% through doing one for me

Drop him an email. He could do one for you (at a price lol)

Mine is called "the 3k budget blaster" we set out to build the whole thing for under 3k and that includes buying the ka and rs engine! So far the budget is easily in-line

I'd say you're looking at minmum 5k for a zetec-se turbo

 

i have the engine, and gearbox but no loom. can i use any of the RST looms on any engine? what i mean is, will an OFAC only work on a certain engine? and the same with an OFAB?

Cheers

Post your question on katurbo.co.uk

 

anything is posible considering theres a company who put a escort cossie engine in a ka

 

katurbo link is down mate i want to do this to mine

just spotted link below

 

there is a guy on a mazda forum that had a turbo ka for sale, good cond, that may be a cheaper option. can find out for you if interested. I think that there is also a cossie powered ka in the ramsgate area.

 

Crap engine? FPMSL... One of the best 8 valvers out there, and it shits on the Kent....

 

guy i know through a friend put an RST engine in his ka , he did it all himself with the help of a couple of mates but he himself knew hardly anything about cars so you got to take your hat off to him.
The car looks good too and think has about 150bhp so doesnt go too bad.
At least its something different.

 

i may be able to hepl you out as im only in bude i carry out or sorts of engine transplants it cost £1500 plus the engine if you intreseted mail me at babombrs200@hotmail.co.uk chears barry

 

Can someone tell me what the dimensions of the KA Engine bay are? As I've got an idea
