New kit car Bradley GT

01Ranger · November 17th, 2008, 09:49 PM

My dad bought a kit car Bradley GT this weekend. Its just the body and it was $50.00. But we are going to get a chassis for is soon and put that thing together this winter and next summer. It can only fit a 4cylinder, soooooooo were not sure what to put in that thang yet. MM have any thoughts?

The first picture is my grandpa's before he sold it.(the kid in the picture is some kid that owned it about 5 years back)

This is the same stye we just bought. we were thinking yellow

Should be a neat project. Would be awesome with a small v-6 or a newer injected 4 cylidner.

I'm thining a good 4cylinder out of a Subaru or a Fox mustang. he thinks a VW engine..But I think not.

toyota 2azfe,

can be mounted vertically or horizontally opposed, built for 9psi of boost from factory so it can handle power you want out of it, has a very strong torque curve so you want be chugging around and with a well managed exhaust can sound ever nice. also has been the power plant for the Camry for years so it is very reliable as well as easy to find parts for, and with the new relase of the tC a big aftermarket world as well, you can get one brand new for about 3-4.5k

drop an STi motor in it mated with an STi six speed and call it done

Luis_GT · November 17th, 2008, 10:06 PM

SR20DET or CA18DET

4G63 or a EJ257 but I think the EJ (subaru engine) would be too wide

drop in an ecotec 2.0 with a s/c like they did for the US ariel atoms

or buy the honda engine they put in the euro models

lol

2.9 0-60 or something insane for the cobalt motor

There is one of those on the way up to the track, always wondered what it was. Does the bumper have to stick out like that?

GreenFaleen · November 17th, 2008, 10:08 PM

a vr6 from a GTI would be a good motor as well, its a w6 but the pistons are barely bigger than a sliver dollar

3S-GTE: Easy to find, easy to get parts for, was offered in at least 3 different guises stateside (Early Celica AllTrac, MR2 Turbo, late Celica AllTrac) 200-225hp in stock trim, 275 with minor mods, 400 hp streetable, or 6-700hp in nutso full-race trim.

I'm assuming when you say it can only fit a 4-cylinder, you mean an inline 4 - that throws out the Suby, VW, and Porsche motors.

2.3L out of a fox is a decent motor, but WAY too heavy. In stock trim, they're only about 30 lbs lighter than a 5.0.

put a hayabusa motor in it

mustangjeff1997 · November 17th, 2008, 10:39 PM

okay, I take it back then.

I'd go with the early WRX motor - the EJ20T 2.0L turbo. Stone reliable, and more than enough power for that car, especially if people are used to putting 50hp bug motors in 'em.

+1. That's a little more realistic than my earlier post lol.

The reason they put bug motors in them is becasue there fan cooled. No radiator(rear engine) so we are probebly going to hop up a bug engine to 200hp and drop that in there. or put an engine out of an older porsche 911 in it.

Ace417 · November 18th, 2008, 04:55 PM

put the mazdaspeed3 engine in it
