K24RWD

Hi Guys,

I am building a Lotus 7 replica with a K24 motor.

Using a McGregor Motorsport Bell housing that mates the K20/24 to a W58 Toyota transmission.

Made the bell housing myself and am now casting them and selling them to fund the build.

I have attached some pictures.

I will need some help on the motor side of the build so will be asking heaps of wiring and fueling related questions in the future.

Do they make sfi certified scatter shields for the s2k trans? This is an easy option unless rules require a sfi one

Uncle Dave

Why that choice of transmission ?

PRLdrag240

is that another lotus 7 with an SR20 i see in the background of the one picture?

Hi,

In New Zealand they are reasonably common and affordable , I am working on adapting it to a R154 and Quaife T9 too.

Hi,

Yes it is , its a DET motor , I'm working on a SR20VE to DE transmission too at present.

That bellhousing will open up a lot of options for rwd projects, nice to see someone taking the initiative to make custom parts.
P.S. I need one of those hoodies

redboost10

there are MANY bellhousing options already. But I do agree, this is nice not having to make an adapter plate.

Yea I think that's the biggest plus. No adapter plate, modifying components. The cast one piece bellhousing offers a bolt on solution for everything mostly. I am curious as to what flywheel/clutch is being used

Where in New Zealand are you? I'm in Christchurch. I do a bit of fabrication/welding work for Mcgregor Msports.

K24RWD

Hi , thanks for that , the hoodies are available in Aus somewhere , I'll try find you the link if you want one.

Just a std Honda manual flywheel , std clutch cover and a Toyota clutch plate.
Fork , slave and bearing are std W5* toyota.

Obviously for big KW motor you will need some custom components.

was going to say this has already been done, but since your from New Zealand i can understand.

i have no idea who these guys are, only that i know they run in EM/DM in autocross over here in the states with a k24. if i remember right they are running a subaru rear diff..... but it's been like 5yrs since i've seen the car in person. pretty sure some guys on this forum will point you in the way to figure out who they are, and may be they can give you a few points on the electrical.

I would think the r154 or v160 would be a better choice.

I love this thread so far.

K24RWD

Hi, Yes I know the guys , I spoke to them 3 yrs ago myself. They used a ali plate welded to a gearbox , I really wanted to do a custom bell-housing that could be replicated.

pretty wicked car huh? i more amazed that they went that route instead of the s2k route, but the torque curve is better with the k24.

hope you got their info so you can get some pointers.

K24RWD

So I have finally completed the chassis for the k24 RWD project!

Love when awesome threads like these pop up. Very excited to follow this. Goodluck!

Cool stuff! Have you thought about doing a midlana style build, motor behind the driver?

And for the sr20 why not just swap the ve head and oil pump onto the rwd sr?
