radrollaz Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 Love your work mate :) can't wait to see this thing done, CRAZY is the best word to describe it i reckon. Quote
13BT_KE20 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 nice tight fit, just how i like it. I'm interested in how/where you plan to fit/run a dump pipe for the turbo/exhaust system? Quote
67Rolla-Ken Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 (edited) This is great! have you seen www.1uzfe.com I'm guessing you have... I chatted (via email) with the guy about a year ago, when I had my 1uzfe powered Soarer. It's such a thorough build. Wonder if you could shoe-horn one of these into a KE10?? :) Edited May 21, 2008 by Dunadan Quote
oke020 Posted May 21, 2008 Author Report Posted May 21, 2008 13BT_KE20 - it possible to clear the strut with a 3" dump, i have just enough room to squeeze a 4" pipe down the back of the engine so i am thinking of using a 3.5" dump, probably also going to cut and weld some 4" pipe into the strut tower to make a recess so the bend out of the turbo does not need to be so tight, i have about 1.5" of room inside the tower as the car has custom coilovers in it. Dunadan - yep the flea website seems to be down? i have had a few KE10s engine bay is not so accomodating :) Quote
13BT_KE20 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Posted May 22, 2008 the car has custom coilovers in itlooks like ill be talking to you more once i have the car running (not driving) :) Quote

67Rolla-Ken Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 I haven't read all of page 1 & 2, (so sorry if you have already stated) are you building this for road use?? I wouldn't think it would be possible to get over the pits, not that that stops it getting on the road :) Quote
oke020 Posted May 23, 2008 Author Report Posted May 23, 2008 It will look stock, could probably get away with it but its not really worth it, i have a 3rd ke20 that does road duties, 3k, toyoglide, feel the g's :( Quote
67Rolla-Ken Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 Sounds like a smart plan. Are you going to keep all the road trim or lighten her up for drag duties?! :( Quote
PMP020 Posted May 24, 2008 Report Posted May 24, 2008 i bought a decent mig last night :y: PMP020 sent me up some missing bits, he also threw in the bonnet catch i needed.... champion I'm glad to play a small part in this build :( keep it up scott. cheers, scott Quote
