Some guys put V8's in these things The KA24DE is a sweet little engine, 2.4L 155hp, 160lbft torque, of course it's not going to sound as nice as an L24. The engine I'm using is basically stock but with some port&polish on the head. The 510 is only about 2100lbs so it will be fun car to drive and at least keep up with Hwy traffic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240260280 Posted December 4, 2020 Share #39 Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) Another Canadian 510 swap: VG30 six in this one. Can't recall if it had a turbo. Sleeper. He also had HLS30-00048 🙂 Edited December 4, 2020 by 240260280 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't be long and you'll have an X6 motor in one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, didn't see this, yes all by hand, English wheel and bead roller. Oops, I accidentally let some of the magic smoke leak out of the electrical system. I got the Can-am box wired into the ECU, I hadn't installed the 60amp fuse yet but wanted to quickly check to see if all the connections were correct. Bad call! The plastic coating on the 12ga wire vaporized before I could disconnect the power, seems I didn't notice the short between the 12v+ fastener and the housing. I thought for sure I would have to order a new relay unit but after correcting the problem (that nut is now where it's suppose to be, under the board) everything is working perfectly 14" wheels aren't the easiest to buy tires for but with @zKars advice I found these Falken AZENIS RT615k 195/60/14 and ordered 4, looking forward to trying these out, made in Japan. The electrical system is almost finished, just a few more gremlins to chase down before I can pull the driveline and mount it on the rotisserie.

It was freezing outside but I had to open the garage door to air it out, I wish I could have grabbed the camera faster, it was a little mushroom cloud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
