KARTer 2nd Gear April 19, 2011 Share April 19, 2011 Elise started with a K series Rover engine actually the K series is not that bad if we know how to deal with it (knowing its strength/weaknesses, and do the right things) and have the right expectations and use it 'correctly'.... history liao ahahaha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryn Turbocharged April 19, 2011 Share April 19, 2011 actually the K series is not that bad if we know how to deal with it (knowing its strength/weaknesses, and do the right things) and have the right expectations and use it 'correctly'.... history liao ahahaha I understand that can be the Mk1 Elise and the transplant to the toyota engine is painless?

Holdenutessv Turbocharged April 19, 2011 Share April 19, 2011 Evora chio, with toyota's V6 engine. GT-R is a better choice. But there's a newer version called the Evora S. S=Supercharged Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

S=Supercharged the GT-R is a great car. but. the image it comes with is. just a more well off beng. its like the richer version of WRX/EVO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KARTer 2nd Gear April 19, 2011 Share April 19, 2011 k-series engines are one of the worst engine around,head gasket failure is very common with this engine. does this fail in stock tuned conditions? or after some messing around by the owners?...am just learning more about this.......... it seems the K is not meant to be tuned / setup any-o-how.......... i could be wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KARTer 2nd Gear April 19, 2011 Share April 19, 2011 Power was also well down on the toyota..... that's obvious, but in the first place it's not supposed to give more power than the toyota as designed and constructed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExigeMe Neutral Newbie June 9, 2011 Share June 9, 2011 Was at a workshop in KL and saw a GTR & an Evora together. The Evora had a puny Toyota engine, curvy, almost feminine body style. The GTR on the other hand (it was a 32 btw), had all the hallmarks of a monster! Almost twice the size of the Lotus, the R32 styling was all edgy, musculine hard lines, with any hint of subtlety thrown to the wind! RB26 was stroked up to a 3.0L 6-cylinder twin turbo , with all the bells & whistles attached - easily 600whp!! So no prizes for guessing which one I'd chose! The Lotus?

Mecontle 1st Gear June 9, 2011 Share June 9, 2011 singapore can run how far how fast? from traffic light to traffic light? the most only 5mins faster for this 2 car from point a to point b, say PIE end to end. if u say track then diff story. then diff story la. both are of different league in fact. NA vs Turbo. and alot more diff also leh. no offence bro if 12s chevy cruze is the slowest to accept then to break the light before cruze u need say 5s faster, so 7s is the best of 2 world 12s car r 80k 10s car r 120k 7s car r 150k Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExigeMe Neutral Newbie June 9, 2011 Share June 9, 2011 If you own a Evora, maybe many 5 stars hotels will allow you to park infront of the hotel. But if GTR, they will ask you to park at the basement. Correct me if I am wrong. [thumbsup] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
