TC16 Posted March 8, 2009 Report Posted March 8, 2009 great looking car, I'm jealous I'm not as clever as you Quote
TOMMYS Ke 11 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) Hey guys got the new engine in after some stuffing around had it in then had to take it back out due to the five speed hitting in places and also had a problem with getting the clutch to engage but dad was able to get around all of that and we now have it running. (very bloody loud running straight out the extractors haha) Going in tomorrow to have the exhaust fitted back up and hopefuly dyno tuned on friday to get her runnung smoothly. Here are a few pics. :) Edited March 11, 2009 by TOMMYS Ke 11 Quote

Doogs Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Awesome. Very tidy, well done. :) Â Over time I hope to end up with a similar result, leaving no stone unturned. Â I hope no one ruins it for you again, after all that effort you sure as hell don't deserve that. Quote

greenmac80 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 don't take this the wrong way.... but for a k motor.... this thing a sick!!! awesome work! almost makes me wanna ditch the 4a 20v and go for a nice torquey 7k with a carb setup like that!!' Â love it! Quote
Jason KE30 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 Those quad carbs are insane!!! Can't imagine the fuel you would use to keep that thing running but damn it would go fast!! Quote
TOMMYS Ke 11 Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) Hey guys had her on the dyno today and also some dramas while she was on it. When he went from 2nd to 3rd it dropped one of the cylinders off :y: and was imediatly shut down after a bit of stuffing around we found that one of the carbies had lifted off a little and the first cylinder wasnt getting fuel. After all that was sorted it was worked out that in 4th gear at roughly 5500-5800 rpm at 100mph it was running 75 hp at the rear wheels. Due to it being an old dyno i was unable to get a print out of the results. Now its just a matter of running it in then go for it. I would like to take the time to thank my father for his many endless hours spent on not only my engine but also for the majority of the work that has been done to the car itself i would hate to know how much i would have had to pay some one to do it all Thanks Dad.
