Its been a month I havent post anything. Scrambled myself up lately about my decisions. Options and solutions came 1 by 1 into my mind. To be frank, I dont know much about classics and slow in thinking which and what is suitable for my KP30 project. I want to restore this car and fun to drive as well. Try to do research about KP30 but nothing much appear other than racer 86's KP 30 project. I salute him with all his effort to bring the fun out from his great project and sometimes I envy him for the way he think in modding the car.
In the first place, I was thinking to swap the legendary 4AGE 16v or 20v into my KP30. So I did some research and what that worries me is the risk and cost is way to high. I need to change everything especially the suspensions, axles, brakes, to cope up the 4AG power delivery. And thinking how all it should be done tells me its gonna be an insane project if I really gonna do this. Moreover I worried about the car total balance, well the car is small with big engines and can it withstand the power? I dont want the car just can be a shotgun on the straight but slows in corners. So Im still in doubt with this option. If I proceed I have to find an 86 halfcut to swap all necessary parts into my car. And sure the cost gonna burn a hole in my pocket.
Now the other option is I buy a 4k TRD engine used for starlet KP 61 in the Starlet Grand Cup! Its a rare spec I can get for my project but I know where to find it :) its lightweight and I guess it shouldnt be a problem in overall total balance. And if I choose this option I need to find an abandon KP 61 to get all the suspension system and fit em into my KP30. Hope its gonna be a direct fit but well I need further research about this first. Then I can fit ae86 coilovers with brake disc. For now Im interested with this option where its cheaper and safer. Ill post the 4K TRD spec and my research in swapping KP 61+ae86 into my KP30 later.
