Before i had bought this car i had purchased a set of silver top 20valve quad throttle bodies on a t3 bigport manifold and I was gonna make a manifold to suit k series motor and go all out on one. Any way when i bought this thing i put them on after a 3 months or so of having it. I decided I wanted cams as well so I bought a set of crow 277 degree cams to suit. With the cams and quads it made 75rwkws on a mainline dyno with a ignition break down. the best thing about it is the noise that it makes either a deep gargle like webbers or it screams pretty damn loud when your right on it. Also during the time the car was off the road having the cams fitted and waiting for it to be tuned i carpeted out the boot and fitted a sterio to the car and bought the set of coilovers out of slo30's ke38 wagon.When fitting the coil overs i discoverd the mess that some one had made with the crossmember so that got swapped at the same time. Before doing all the quads and cams i realised it needed a new clutch and the gearbox poped out of third some times, so i bought a gearbox off of a mate and a new excedy hd clutch for it. In the process of doing the clutch the supplier got two wrong clutches and in the end the thrust bearing wrong but thye clutch was right so off to another parts supplier and they had the right thrust bearing. When it came to fitting the tail shaft it didnt fit and i had no idea what was going on. Being a newby to t50's and 4ages i discovered that t50's had two different out put shafts 20 and 22 spline. My original gearbox was a 20spline so the original k series tail shaft fitted when the conversion was originaly done, so down to the wreckers i went and got a AE71 front shaft and swaped the yokes over. I wasnt a fan of the super lights ever since i got the car and one day looking through the otomoto wheels page i found a set of ssr MK1's in 15X7 +12 pretty cheap so they became mine pretty quick. Once i got them they were sent off to the polishers due to the being rusty around the bolt holes, then fitted with some 195/50R15 Khumo KU31's other little things i have done to the car is nardi wood grain steering wheel, trd leather shift knob and a fixed back seat.

back in march last year i bought a ke35 coupe with a 4age in it. it had been sitting in a shed for the last two years. when i got it the master cylinder had ceased and only the rear brakes were working. made it a very interesting drive home. here are some of the specs on it when i got it Yellow 77 ke35 coupe (last of the 35's so it has a ke55 dash in it) AE86 rwd bigport 4age with t50 haltec e6m computer RA40 front struts with the crossmember dodgy drilled out for more camber. 14X6 super lights

yep i will be atending this also
-
mileend bunnings meet up at 6 30 tonight there should be a few cars there tonight
-
yes it would work but even with the 2 or 3 mm off the head its not gonna make as much compression as a stock 4k due to the extra volume in the pistons and there still being a combustion chamber in the head. also if u do do this make sure u use the 4kc lifter rods cos 4ku ones are shorter because of the rocker gear lower in the head.

I'll will be attending in my new toy and my mate member chris88 in his 4agze AW11
-

wagon carpet is the same as the sedan apart from where the rear seat bolts in, the bottom hinges for the seat need cut outs for them but thats all

32/32 Webber Carby Going Onto 4k Engine
rolla_boy70 replied to Rolla_Baby's topic in General Mechanical
if it is one that opens at the same time i would match all the jets. but in my car with the 32/32 i had standard idle jet that come with them. F6 emultion tubes. twin one 160 air correctors and 135 primary and 132 secondry jet. after alot of jetting i got this combination and worked well for street use and some power to boot. with the bigger first main jet is good and then when the second one opens up its just enough to give it that quick boot. soz bout some of the spelling -
at the moment i have about 4 possibly 6 cars coming to this on saturday night so I'm hoping for some more people to turn up as well.
-
your best bet is to ring around you local wreckers. how exactly are they attached to the car??
-
just wondering what length are KE55 lower controll arms??? i have a KE70 and up grading the front struts to complete XT130 struts. i can get XT130 LCA'S but i wanted to know what length the KE55 ones are cos i can get some for free. if they are round the same length as i might as well use them and might be an option for all the kids looking for LCA'S for there 70/71. i have searched round on here but havent found anything. Cheers David

hey i am currently building up my 4ku as well but going down the highcomp track with a big weber and cam but when you are changing it to a stock 4kc head, the push rods are shorter in a 4ku so you have to use stock push rods out of a 4kc. The head bolts are the same just by the way so don't need different ones. also it will be really no compression at all due to most of the compresion chamber being in the pistons on a 4kU. cheers David

that was me and my brother in his 38 just went for a bit of a relaxing drive he tried to do a bit of a fly by in the tunnels but the su's wanted no go of it under that much load.

yeah i was inside working. one of the guy's at work puts my wipers up ever shift if he leaves before me. it shits me off but i get him back every time... so whens the next cruise??
-
i wanted to come on sunday but i had to work. then all you guy's come in to Kmart at Kurralta park and taunt me by driving past while i was workin but it was good to see such a good turn out or rolla's. BTW did any one spot my white KE70 in the car park???

How about week make the second cruise in a fortnights time? I work on sundays and i had all ready taken the day off for this one but me and my brother in his car wont be coming due to it being to hot, also most of my income is on a sunday due to penalty rates. If you have it next week end i am unable to make it because i have to work. i would love to come out on a cruise with all the rolla club people which i havent done for quite a while now but i need to work so if all you guy's could do it in a fortnight that would be great. plus it may be cooler then as well. cheers David

i did a 5 speed conversion on my ke70 just before christmas and my k40 only had the two wires that yours had pluged in which had been fine for 25 years and that 3rd wire is to do with a 5 speed so leave it and don't worry. I don't think they do much any way except the lights for reverse. Cheers David
-
I'm up for this cruise and i will also see if i can get my brother in his 38 wags to come as well.
