Jordan Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 Finally bothered to read the first post :D If you're going EFI and supercharged and a rebuild, sell this good 2TG for good scratch and then buy a blown one for peanuts and rebuild that. Hell take a trip to U-Pull-it and grab yourself a 3T crank (there are 2 TE72's at the south yard) and a set of 3T pistons to get 1770cc (or buy 89mm wiseco's to get 2L) and do it properly. Cheers Jordan P.S: why not go turbo since you're going EFI? Quote
fusion Posted January 17, 2008 Author Report Posted January 17, 2008 (edited) Well first it was just a supercharger, but than Fishers old man suggested we also take the route of EFI. Alot of the engine rebuild will be left to the old man as he has alot more knowledge in these matters than we do. Also it was firstly going to be a SC-14, but now it looks like it might be an Eaton SC. So, like alot of things in this business it seems, the engine build won't be finalized till its actually done :) Started taking out the floor tar today . . . lovely job that is :D Edited January 17, 2008 by fusion Quote
Fisher Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 Taking out that floor is going to take a while! Quote
Fisher Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 Just a small Update, This is the progress of about 2 - 3 hours worth of fusion sitting in the corolla with a razor blade and a heat gun. Drivers Side Centre Console Area Passenger side. Will start on the back soon, we just need a solid weekend on it :hmm: Anyone who can suggest an easyer method than the one we are currently using would be greatly appreciated> (of course we don't mind doing it this way, Its just a long and tiering process Fisher Quote
fusion Posted January 21, 2008 Author Report Posted January 21, 2008 (edited) Man the feeling you get after smoking tar . . . its not healthy I tell ya :hmm: O and the car will be sent away to the Auto Electrician for stripping and custom electronics. That should help a bit :2thumbs: Edited January 21, 2008 by fusion Quote
KE70-from-mt-panorama Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 I have only gotten around to removing some of my sound deadening out of my AE71, I used a hammer and chisel and chipped away at mine. Not using a heat gun and doesnt take too long to do. I got the LH rear bit done in about 1.5 hrs. I decided on doing it this way as i just got bored and started picking at it with a screwdriver, then decided on a hammer and chisel. Car looks good, Will be a quick little track car when your done.

fusion Posted January 21, 2008 Author Report Posted January 21, 2008 Well it will all be weighed up in the end . . . especially for Redwarf and Androio :hmm: Should have it done by Friday if I get off my lazy butt Quote
David[RL] Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 try to cool it down by using ice or something similar, dry ice is the best then use a hammer and chisel and you should be able to remove all the sound deadening in the whole car in a hour or two Quote
Jordan Posted January 21, 2008 Report Posted January 21, 2008 it's easier to use a medium sized screw driver. also don't heat the tar, it makes it go all sticky, if anything get dry ice which makes it chip off easily as the cold breaks the bond between the metal and tar. Jordan Quote
Fisher Posted January 22, 2008 Report Posted January 22, 2008 Cool, Cheers for the tips people! Quote
NickZ Posted January 23, 2008 Report Posted January 23, 2008 Ive just read this thread, I have built a supercharged 2tgeu with a sc12 supercharger, made 9psi boost with a huge intercooler,But no where near 131kw at the wheels, it was more like 90kw at the wheels with 9psi. the sc14 or eaton it should go well as it will flow more air, maybe a little harder to mount.

Fisher Posted January 23, 2008 Report Posted January 23, 2008 (edited) Nice setup bro. Looks Clean :thumbsup: Still slowly working on the front :D Edited January 23, 2008 by Fisher Quote
Fisher Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 Just a small Update, A few hours worth of work done by Fusion and I this evening. Passenger Side and Center thingy Passenger Rear Passenger Middle (what the Seat sits on) Drivers side Passenger front And this is all of the dash and center console peices jammed in my boot along with the airconditioning unit and spare tire :) And The Navara Ute that ive been driving around for that last week, whilst waiting to get the Celica into workshop to get the timing chain changed :dance: Take it easy :bash: Fisher Quote
fusion Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Posted January 24, 2008 Another tip for taking out tar . . . wear a f***ing mask . . . I think I got a throat infection from smoking to much tar *cough cough Quote
