You can come get your guards and take me for a spin lol...

[Taz_Rx]

Yeah I just gotta put it back together again some time this week and I'll come out.

I'll go down to the inspection station and get myself some calamari for dinner while I'm there! :jamie:

[Taz_Rx]

Fitted an S14 T28 with the .64 rear housing on Saturday.

 

The .64 makes general off-boost cruising duties a bit easier, and dare say more fuel efficient.

 

Spools at maybe 3500rpm, rather than 2500rpm. Gate pressure is at a lazy 8 psi and feel pretty pathetic compared to the T25G at gate pressure(10psi). Yeah maybe I'm making more top end power, but doesn't seem worth it without that BIG .48 push in the back!

 

Flick the switch and its a bit better! Data logger says I maxxed 14.4psi so I've got it set pretty well for the ceramic wheel. :(

Just keeps pulling harder and harder through the revs......don't think I've seen the shift light this much for a while! :bash:

 

Hoping to get it back out to the dragway this weekend if I'm lucky and then the proof will be in the pudding...or ET maybe. :y:

[Toy-Yoda[RL]]

Fkn awesome, want to see ET's and maybe get you to take me for a burn, show me whatI'm missing out on........ :bash:

[Taz_Rx]

I keep forgetting you've got that turbo kit!!

 

You wanna chuck it in the '36 on the cheap? Now then it'll be a good basher!!! :bash:

[Toy-Yoda[RL]]

I'm seriously considering it, I'll turbo the other engine and keep the current one as NA for when the turbo one pops.........

[Taz_Rx]

Just use the motor thats in there dude! I highly doubt you'll kill it! :jamie:

The Fumey 4k bottom end in Dirt is the ex-turbo 4k that spend 2 years boosted, seeing up to 20+psi.

I just chucked a 3k head, carby and set of extractors on it and away she went again! :yes:

 

nice pic from the weekend's shoot....

 

[rundell]

Nice job this is starting to look sick!Well done. pity my engine don't look like that (N) some of the oil lines were too short so had to use garden hose :jamie: ghetto spec much. Finally got those bolts out so will rember to lock the dizzy this time :P

How much is efi's for k engines?

[Taz_Rx]

Paid $250 for the EFI system, had to get bigger injectors, ECU, fuel fitting etc etc. Then tuning as well.

 

Do yourself a favour mate and go and get some correct size auto hose and piss off the garden hose. It'll get hot and crack or melt. Bad idea.

[rundell]

Haha yeh hose was just for the test runs before the headgasket blew.

Hmm might look into the efi system once i get it running

[benzo]

 

now thats a nice K engine!!

 

Always liked this car/build up, I might do a simple turbo 4K for myself day.

 

Cheers, Ben.
