Alex's Supercharged 4k Project Ke70

[DearmanKE]

Update, This car has Plans now :bash:

 

I will be superchargeing a 4k and puting it into this car

I have never dealt with forced induction before so alot i have been doing alot of research on the matter

I have started collecting bits and pieces so far i have

 

32/36 weber rescently rebuilt

sc12 supercharger AFAIK in good nick

Bosch high pressure fuel pump

4k AC Mount

Soon getting a fairly fresh 4k to use as the base motor.

 

The plan originally was to do a blow through setup, But i am now leaning towards doing a suck through setup as it seams like it has been done before more so than blow through carby and also i wont have to worry about overpressureiseing the carb,

As alot of this stuff is and will be new to me I'm bound to stuff up somewhere along the way, so basically suckthrough = simpler.

 

Current specs of the car(nothing special)

Cut front springs standard front shocks,

Nardi Steering wheel

HQ Monroe rear gas shocks(good length and fitment, short stroke but not overkill like sieraas)

245mm free height Falcon Rear springs.

S13 Wheels/13inch jellybeans/dragways, some other random 13's

very tired 4k with water leaking out of the head, at the bottom so i think its done the gasket. doesnt matter because i have a daily ra40 for now

Locker

 

Once i get a full time job stuff should start happening a fair bit quicker, pizza boying only just getting me by these days lol

 

Also on the list to do is front suspension and proper rear springs, In time id like to go 86 struts with descent shocks, 6kg springs and 4kg rear springs.

Also some nicer wheels, 14X7'ish

UPDATE, see first post |blink|

[DearmanKE]

Small update,

 

got the old motor out,

 

the new motor will go in once i get a new clutch for it

 

i can get an exedy heavy duty for abit less than 160

is that about average or is that good?

 

once the new motor is in i will get it running standard, then get it running with the weber and different fuel pump setup, then its time to mount the sc

Yeah $160 for a HD is pretty good. I paid like $135 for an RPM HD and that was a piece of shit - stock PBR's are better!!!

Put it this way, my K-T Exedy HDCB is like $460 odd RRP. :dance:

[DearmanKE]

an hdcb would be wicked, but il just go hd for now,

 

sold my ke30 today so this project has funs to spend away,

 

considering i can't weld, where would be the cheapest place to get some mounts made to mount the SC,

 

and can anyone give me some tips?

[SLO-030]

I can weld :dance:

[Taz_Rx]

use a K series A/C bracket. PM Falken_ke30 as he has the bracket on his 4k but bo A/C pump and he needs funds for a timing chain!! :dance:

[SLO-030]

I think, Alex has got a couple of A/C mounts. thats who I'm getting my mount from :dance:

[NickZ]

Shame your in SA, My brother is selling his ke70 wirh a rebuilt 4k, K EFI Injection and microtech ECU, SC12 supercharger, The car has run out of rego now but does go, Has a fair bit of rust in the usual places be he only wants $500 for it.

[Falken_KE30]

Ya a AC bracket will work so ive read..

 

NickZ you got pm aswell... i call shotgun on the KE70!!!

[DearmanKE]

sounds hell cheap about that ke70! efi and sc12 would be worth it in itself

 

yeah got a few ac mounts, 2 different ones slightly but yeah

 

SLO-030

is helpin me out with weldning n shit n il help him out with whatever

 

labours n bits n shit

 

put order for new clutch should be here hopefuly tuesday

[Falken_KE30]

It is hell cheap... and I'm buying it :no2: !!!..

[DearmanKE]

yo

 

New less shitty 4k is in with 5 speed and exedy HD clutch(ended up getin it for 150 :yes:)

 

not quite running yet, stil have to put radiator back in and connect al the earths n stuff.

 

also i should be picking up a pair of MA61 wheels on the weekend, which will end my shitty front offset.

 

 

there is some bad news, my sc12 seams to be leaking oil into the rotors, so il need to pul it apart and replace the seals, and possibly the bearings.

 

 

oh and shoould be gettin a 2 inch ke70 pipe that goes until abit bfor the diff for fairly cheap, so can use that and get a shop to weld on a rear muffler.

 

 

this comeing week i hope to have it on the road(not sc'd yet, just runnign stock) bfor the rego runs out next friday
