goldcoastke Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Posted March 9, 2009 wow you've thrown a lot of $$ at this one. engine bay looks pretty flash. i can't make out what you've done for your clutch master etc. can you put up a close up shot of behind the inlet mani? its got a race pedalbox with all the master cylinders in it. will post some pictures of it Quote

goldcoastke Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Posted March 9, 2009 one of the clean and nicest ke20 in the club i say :D i like the bamboo color and your engine bay you can eat on it! :cool: cheers DRC. the guys are fitting a brake proportioning value tomorrow the rears have a bit too much bite. once its dyno'd its booked to have the mod plates fitted and then hopefully you will see it around the gold coast!

oke020 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) Looking very trick Edited March 9, 2009 by oke020 Quote
HIGH ROLLER Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 Awesome looking bay, looks tuff as! what power figures you hoping for on initial tune? mark Quote
goldcoastke Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Posted March 23, 2009 had some delays getting it on the dyno, put it down to bleeding the race pedal box correctly anyway it went on this afternoon will post the sheet when i get it but they rang me to say 214.8 horsepower at the rear wheels on 15PSI pretty happy with that in a 780 odd kg KE20!!!

Jono Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 so you haven't driven it yet? should bring a mad grin to your face! btw, i'm guessing it will be at least 850kg by now with the diff etc. Quote

13BT_KE20 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 definitely enough power to keep you happy for a while. I would agree with weight, id estimate my car with the hilux diff, plus heavier g/box, tailshaft, exhaust and turbo gear would weigh around the 850kg mark. Ill hopefully get a chance to get my car on a weighbridge soon to find out for sure. Quote
oke020 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 +1 on the weight, add anyone other than a jockey and you can get to 1000kg pretty easy Quote
Jono Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 my ke20 weighed 850kg. that was with a 4age, t50, ke55 borgy diff (a LOT lighter than a hilux), small surge tank etc, gauges, different seats. it did have heavy wheels though - 15" chasers. i reckon i could have saved 7-10kg a wheel by having proper lightweight mags. AND no tools, no spare tyre. so 850kg for those cars with a hilux diff and decent gearbox was a way conservative guestimation. Quote
seabiscuit Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 Pics of whole car! :P That was a really quickly built car. Are you doing anything else to the car before you're happy? You'll want some decent seats. Wooden planks wrapped in foam and leather probably won't cut it for you! Good luck with the car. Quote

AND no tools, no spare tyre. so 850kg for those cars with a hilux diff and decent gearbox was a way conservative guestimation. my g/box and diff would be heavier but the engine would be lighter id say. No spare, no tools. Ive got the same front wheels as yours but with smaller tyres (=lighter) and my rear wheels are only 14's but are an inch wider (7 inch wide) with a 195/60. stock seats/interior Ill try get the car weighed asap and let you guys know, I'm very interested to know!

sleepercorty Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 sounds like fun, i ran 12.9 in my ke 30 with only 203rwhp so you should be looking at a mid 12 easy. I'm heading to the drags saturday would be good to see another corolla there Quote
goldcoastke Posted March 27, 2009 Author Report Posted March 27, 2009 got it modplated and safety inspected thursday got it insured and registered today pick it up from Stoich tomorrow for its maiden drive, can't wait. will take pics Quote
