philbey Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 Stainless capheads everywhere. Nice touch. Quote
78_7kRolla Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 You have finished it so nicely A+ my friend. Oh, and please put up a vid of how it sounds! Cheers. Matt. Quote
67Rolla-Ken Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 It is almost impossible to get a townace, liteace or hiace with a 5k or 7k in WA :P (for a resonable price). Was hoping he had connections Quote
untubbed_20 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 There been plenty of 5 and 7K on this forum that are good value and people will send interstate. Well done Gavclassic, that is finished very nicely, its a class act cheers darren Quote
Gavclassic Posted June 16, 2008 Author Report Posted June 16, 2008 Just got of the dyno and after an hour of playing around we were able to get a little over 103hp at the wheels. Motor went fine, made good torque all the way through the rev range and made good HP from about 2500 up. Quote
philbey Posted June 16, 2008 Report Posted June 16, 2008 Gav thats fantastic! What a right little rocket. I'm keen to get my new motor dyno'd when I build it and see how much I can make!! Quote
camerondownunder88 Posted June 16, 2008 Report Posted June 16, 2008 103HP in that little car must MOTOR :) Not bad for a van motor with webbers and MSD on it. Any other motor mods planned? eg cam, lifters, valves etc? Also you still run the transverse leaf spring or you get rid of that in your car? As just saw the post about painting bits and was curious if you took it out. Cameron Quote

As just saw the post about painting bits and was curious if you took it out. Cameron Motor was built by Jeff Taylor, big valves, big port job, cam, lightened flywheel etc. He also buit the 4K in my Kahanacross car which made 75hp at the wheels. The 4k need about 8000rpm to get that power compare to about 6200rpm that the 7k needed. The transverse spring has gone, now has adjustable coil overs, also moved pick up point for the lower control arms. Quote
Doogs Posted June 16, 2008 Report Posted June 16, 2008 Nice figure, and from a n/a k motor as well :) Quote
camerondownunder88 Posted June 16, 2008 Report Posted June 16, 2008 Ah so motor was touched upa little I see. Also can we get some pictures of the front struts at all? Sounds like a mean setup. What coil overs arae used custom jobs? I just put heavier oil in my stock KE15 struts to give it a stiffer ride..LOL Cameron Quote
Kid-Ae Posted June 16, 2008 Report Posted June 16, 2008 Jeez thats some good power :dance: Looks like a top little goer you have mate Enjoy her :) Quote

Also an of set top bearing plate was made to give more castor and a little more neg camber. Next will be a brake upgrade with disc/lsd rear. Quote
