Many many moons ago when I were young I remember being in a servo and a mini came in and chirped its tyres on the driveway...only it was the back tyres...intrigued, I wandered over for a look as the guy opened the bonnet, only to see the first couple of spark plugs of a red 6....186, triples, 3 spd manual and a banjo diff. No rear suspension, diff was solid mounted...no tailshaft, just a u joint between g box and diff....and no, he hadn't mentioned to the rego people that the vehicle was modified because he wasn't sure whether it would pass.....okey dokey I said...picked my jaw up off the ground and went about my business. Never forget that one....Oh, and a big home made tin box in the interior so you didn't burn yourself on the engine......

That v6 laser would be a weapon! There are a few 2.0 to 2.5lt mazda v6's and fwd transmissions that could be fit with a bit of work & remain road legal. Maybe the locally delivered tx5 v6 & trans is the go?
There's a mighty boy or two getting around with ls1 v8's in them, nowhere near road legal, but a great burnout car! I prefer my car's road legal so i can drive them. Cheers ToranaGuy

Eunos v6 is quite small.
There's a 4runner at work, owner wants a v8holden engine in it. It fits. Just need to bell the front of the sump out and make the middle section lower to clear the front diff and rack. |

Otherwise they wouldn't be legal in a laser, need a fwd v6 like the 92 on fwd v6 Telstar Tx5. Cheers ToranaGuy

Troy. I think you just saved us a heap of hastle. Itd need to be about a 4 inch lift tho.
Unless just did a 2inch and then would have room at the back to make it the same depth as the front and extend the front a bit to make up the rest. |

Cheers ToranaGuy Well here is the ad for the Laser in question, it is not, as I thought first off, a courier or explorer engine. Quote: Ford Laser with KL-ZE 2.5 V6 engine conversion. Rego expires 20 jan'11. Engine has low KM's. Has had recent service (approx 1.5k-2k ago) with oil + filter change using mobil1 5w-30 fully synthetic, bosch platinum spark plugs, coolant change and air filter clean. New Front tyres (4 wheel alignment carried out aswell) - Toyo Proxes4 have lots of life left (approx 6-7mm) and rear tyres - Good Year Eagle F1's (approx 5mm) KC-ZE 2.5 V6 Genie Exhaust System Intake system Twin plate sprung clutch Lightened flywheel LSD Close ratio gearbox Custom driveshafts and engine mounts K-tech front sway bar Eurotech front/rear suspension arms Pedders Gas Shock-absorbers New SuperPro suspension bushes allround TX3 brake conversion Pulsar GTI-R front seats Lightened carpet and door trims Interior is immaculate passed pit inspection last month(august). not missed a beat. Seriously quick car. only used 98 octane fuel and mobil1 fully synthetic oil. most receipts for vehicle present. Priced to sell. Regretful sale, but purchasing a motorbike for summer. Sounds like fun

didn't someone put 2 engines in the one car? I think it was in an Audi making it an all wheel drive. Looked crazy.

Yep, that's the Tx5 V6, KL-ZE engine. That would be wicked fun in a laser!
Cheers ToranaGuy

Looked crazy. a tuning company (MTM i think) took an audi TT and shoved an engine at each end. if i remember correctly the combined output was nearly 700kW There's been a few 2 engined cars over the years...I remember an Olds Toronado years ago (they are FWD 400 odd cube V8) - guy added a second engine transaxle setup at the rear. I think Jay Leno has one too. Oh, and those old gits like me, remember Blowbak 2? Holden ute that originally had a blown sb chev but kept getting hassled by cops, so he put the chev in the tray - then, because he now had an empty engine bay, put a 253 in it as well - odd choice of motors, must have got the 253 cheap at a boat anchor sale...
